I really really do

you always post some pretty newb threads, then diss people on their bodykits/cars...

/end of thread

 

You hate doughnuts?
You use tools too strecth your hands?
you get close too what,


the ****.....!!??

 

Fail.

 

you guys don't know what doughnuts are? The rubber things that hold up the exhaust.

Hows this a nooby thread? My father who worked on cars for more than 25 years couldn't even get the ******* thing on, I just tried to get it on again.

If doughnuts are easy for you to put on, come on down here I'll give you 50 bucks to get this ****** on.

 

try this....go to the gym work on your forearms and then try again if this fails to work sell FC and buy bicycle.....j/k man use something to get some leverage like a long screw driver.

 

They are a major pain in the ***. Just keep at it. I always try to push it firmly on the outside of hook then kind of roll it into place. Try some lube.

 

^^^ Long screw driver with some WD40

 

I ******* hate them too. They actually don't last long either, even using one per side. I guess I need more support though in the Y section.

I usually use jackstands or a jack and jack up the muffler or Y pipe and focus all my strength on getting the thing on. Might want to look into using hose clamps or thick zipties lol.

 

exhaust hangers?!?! lol
fawk them i use zipties lol
or hose clamps

 

Dude, just loosen the bolts on the hangers so you can pull them closer then once you have the rings on just tightent them up. That makes it way easy.

 

omg, thats how I did it before, great idea!

I got this tool thats like a flat head but bends, that'd be perfect to put over the corksport mufflers hanger, then push it on!

I'll try once my hand feels better I'm not weak at all I was using ALL of my force on this lil tool, it was about twice as thick as a tooth pick, so imagin why my hands hurted... I wrapped it with a rag and thats when I used all my force since it didn't hurt (All force counting the fact that i was on my back ) and they still refused to go on

The rear hangers, how do I unbolt them??? I traced them with my finger (and took alil look) goes up inbetween some crap as far as I can see...

No thanks, I could forsee zipties melting, hose clamps maybe would be good.

On the corksport, the hanger seems a tad too close to the can to be put on with ease (I tried putting it on the muffler too it wasnt a slip on... I was thinking of cutting the hangers hook maybe just a half cm or so, then it'd go on for sure.

 

Of course they dont it is zip ties or bust ****. The best way i have found to get the lil bastards in place is a stubby 12mm wrench. put the doughnut on the exhaust and then use the lil wrench as a small lil prybar to wedge it up and over the cars hanger. That or 2 screwdrivers used in a crossing way can do the job also.

 

use some lube

as in the stuff you use when having sex. works magic.

 

oooo thought you meant doughnuts as in the car spinning lol.

 

well if your doing the exhaust piping. then i guess.. if its at the mufflers, thick fat zipties are a quick fix til you get some rubber hangers. or you got some sagging ones

 

 

tipties??? hose clamps??

The flexing that the rubber allows is so the exhaust system does not to break the weld points, the bolts that connects flanges etc. Thats what i was told anyway.

I ran over a large dead animal and it hit my piping pretty hard and it made me realize the importance of doughnuts.

 

You're not cool.

 

i like mine with sprinkles

 

bet you guys dont park your car outside , the sun damages paint you know

im talkin about zipties the width of your finger
muffler hangers dont get hot enough to melt those

 

Who cares, it still makes you look like a jackass.

 

Its not a big deal...there isn't enough heat transferred to the hooks to melt a thick ziptie, I know people that have used them with success. As far as the vibration and stress being transmitted to the welds, I think the difference is insignificant but thats only my opinion.

 

You could wear baggy clothes with multicolored nikes and your hat sideways or dress nice and it doesn't make a difference either way. Both cover your body but one has a touch more class that the other though.

 

yup i stand behind that ! hehe
