View Full Version : Aftermarket exhaust hangers, any leads?

Like the title said, my exhaust (a beautiful stainless steel Enthuza) "wiggles" during hard cornering, so I'm thinking some harder "rubber" will quiet things down.


Does anyone has any leads?

I used some from Autozone. They were stiff as hell. I could barely get the suckers on. They were only about 3-4 bucks.

Call Steve at www.Planet-Miata.com 1-866-296-1100

or Steve at www.Project-GLA.com 1-626-214-5858

Either of them will have them in stock and or can order whichever kind you want.


I used the "PowerFlex" PolyUrethane Exhaust hangers because my stock ones where too loose when fitting my St. May Shotgun Exhaust
The stock hangers made the exhaust appear as if it was pushed over and tilted up on the left. After I installed the new ones it sat perfectly straight and would not bang on anything under the car on hard corners anymore.

Make sure to get some good anti-seez grease or similar slimy stuff to get the old hangers off and the new ones on. If you try to get them on/off with no grease you will pull your back out trying to get all He-Man on your Miata.

Txs TSington and Phat for the leads! Dude, I'll be doing this @ Skip's Cannon place. A) He has all the tools known to mankind, and B) he has a lift! ;)

Just found out that Flyin Miata has poly ones for $9 each.

I wonder if i took mine off my car or not before I sold it, I think I did since I had to remove that exhaust to sell it........

Ill have to check the garage when I get home now.


Hey maybe take some pics this time around for your build thread, just sayin.............. :whistle:

Had I grabbed a camera when we were doing the hoses, I'm pretty sure that Skip would've lodge it where the sun NEVER shines...

I've got both the Powerflex hangers and the Flyin Miata ones so I'll throw in my 2 cents...

I initially got the Powerflex ones to stop my Enthuza exhaust from shaking/wiggling but found that the poly doesn't grab onto the hanger itself good enough and the design of the bushing allows just as much wiggling as the stock hangers.

I then went to the Flyin Miata ones and they are a much more stout design but they still don't grab onto the hanger itself so the exhaust wiggles just as much, also they transmit a lot more of the exhaust vibration up into the car and between that and the winter I have TONS of rattles all over the place right now at all different RPM's.

I'm going back to a fresh set of OEM's real soon and I'll let you know how that goes.

corksport also has them - 5 for $45.00. I have them on and have zero complaints about them.
