scandalo Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've ziptied my OBX to the factory exhaust when I put it on in the summer but I am lazy no more! To avoid buying useless junk at Home Depot I would like to hear what the VS community has to say about this. Links to past threads or solution items would be awesome.

ean carr Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I used hoes clamps with a piece of rubber hose over the volvo hangers and on the exhaust hangers.. pretty ghetto but it did the jobhose clamps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvoskiah Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I took large oval rubber exhaust hangers and band clamped them between the stock bracket and the obx ones. Works perfect if you can understand what i am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scandalo Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I took large oval rubber exhaust hangers and band clamped them between the stock bracket and the obx ones. Works perfect if you can understand what i am saying. Kinda? like using a worm clamp over the circumference of a hanger? Due to the hanger being to big? If not try to elaborate!

fasteddie042 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I just used the stock exhaust hangers and rubber mounts. I am not sure of the interference problems that everyone else had but I did have to bend the rear hangers down a bit to get the tip to clear then opening.

--Aaron-- Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 :blink: Am I missing something? Why not have new hangers welded on where the old ones are, join the two together.......replace the rubber portions if you wish and rock n roll? Or is the object here to avoid welding? If so then carry on and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlewis Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I just bent the rear hanger a bit to allow for proper clearance. Also took my mini sledge and moved around a bit of the shielding underneath. No rattles on my t5 wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
