Default KartBoy Extra Long Exhaust Hangers

I have a Greddy CatBack Exhaust and it was hitting stuff under the car left and right when driving hard or backing up. I finally had it with the stock exhaust hangers and got some extra long KartBoy exhaust hangers. They are dead solid and keep the exhaust in place, If you like your exhaust to fit very tight with your bumper then you are not going to like these hangers but if you want your exhaust to STAY PUT and not bang in to stuff these work awesome. The install was dead simple, pull the old ones off and put the new ones one (I recommend using WINDEX to lube the mounts before trying to install the new ones or else it can be tricky). The kartboy mounts are very solid material too, not rubber like the stock ones.

Good review, when I installed my exhaust it was sitting on the bumper and I'd hear it clunking on the rear diff. I ordered up 3 Kartboy XL hangers (didn't feel like crawling all the way to the 4th) and put them on. Exhaust sits perfect now and there is no more clunking. I, too, used Windex to put the new hangers on. Definitely a good product at a reasonable price. Only thing that sucks is I didn't know whether I'd need XL or standard length hangers until the exhaust was already on so I couldn't order them beforehand to have during the exhaust install.

Yeah, the last hanger can be a bitch but still the whole install took less then 30 minutes. I recommend putting the car up on 4 jack stands to make the whole process easier.

love my kartboy xl hangers too... haha i used a dab of Vaseline on the inside of the hangers woked like a charm. im sure windex works the same. highly reccomend these hangers, they drasticly reduce your exhausts movement.

I lubed them with a little grease before putting them on... makes it MUCH easier.

we recommend using some windex or the like. any petroleum grease can deteriorate the urethane and have them fail after some time.
