I'm pretty sure the hangers get hot enough to melt a zip tie, on my cs the tip got hot enough to melt my bumper to **** (for missing one doughnut, it cant even get close enough to touch the left side of the bumper), I'm pretty sure that heat transfers a bit.

i bought a FC from a local forum member who used a 3" straight pipe all the way from the turbo back (one piece), and welded the damn thing to the bottom of the car i had a real fun time getting it off

I like to have things done right, I really need to get the mufflers 2nd doughnut on, my dad went over one of those parking lot curb things (hey he was really ill) it broke the right doughnut off the cat, which just aids in the muffler moving

Anyone know if the muffler doughnuts would fit for the cat too?

Ill also let you guys know if a screwdriver makes this easier.

All 6 exhaust hangers are the same size. I installed all by hand with help of a friend. Took maybe 10 minutes to put them all on.

I use channel locks on exhaust dough nuts. Have another person hold the muffler in place while you stretch the dough nut over the hanger with some channel locks or pliers that you can get a lot of torque out of.

Sacrifice an old screw driver to the torch and vise. Insta muffler hanger instal/removal tool - works like a charm.
