Thermal 3” rattle

[cwsosby]

I tried every adjustment possible and still had a rattle between 12-1600 RPM under light acceleration. Finally, I took off those rear hangers, broke off the tabs, and switched sides. It was the only way I could get it to stop, but it worked great!! In my case, the hanger on the rear right muffler/resonator was vibrating against the hard green side of that bracket and making a very annoying noise.

It’s super annoying lol my only concern is if the bolt breaks randomly. Thought about replacing them with a stronger bolt

Do you or anyone know what would be the best way to adjust those hangers without taking the whole exhaust off?

the “fk it” way would be to torch the hanger a bit close to the exhaust and use wrenches to bend it while being careful not to heat it so much you burn the hanger. I would just undo the clamp and take it down since it will literally take 3 min longer

That bolt isn't going to randomly break. You'll be fine.

I started getting a squeak after having downpipes installed. I've readjusted several times but no luck, it always seems to come back.

I've narrowed it down to the driver's side but I'm not sure what it is. I thought it was the resonator hitting the heat shield, but it came back. Could it be the clamp?

Did you try switching the hanger brackets over on the rear mufflers yet?
