RE: TT hanger clamps

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

OK, I just swapped out my TT Magnaflow muffler this weekend and put in a
dynomax superturbo. The hangers you need can be bought from TT, the front
hanger (inlet side of muffler) is simply a muffler clamp with a flat steel
bar welded to it then bent in the middle to hang the muffler in between the
two body hangers. The rear hanger is a 2' piece of pipe with a steel bar
bent with a 90 degree angle in it to attach to the single point in the rear.
You should be able to get both of theses from TT, just tell them you have
thier catback system with the MagnaFlow and you need the tail pipe piece and
the front muffler hanger piece. Ill be psting mpegs with the two differnt
systems and thier sounds in the next couple of days.


Thank you for your time.
