The canister has only one bracket on the left and the right side does not have one. Instead on the right is this 2 inch plate with two holes. Am I missing parts here? Isn't it suppose to have a bracket on both sides?

Re: RB dual install?

Originally posted by Wuppy
Just switched from Greddy SP to the RB dual and love it.
The sound is so much more mild with DP and I think it would still sound tame with a high flow cat. That's next.
There was one problem though with the install. Looking from the back there is a braket on the right with two holes only two inches long of the canister. Does this have to be bolted into the fender? I wasn't sure because it looks to me as if the plastic would melt around there.
Let me know so I can tighten that thing up and go out.
Thanks
There's a hanger that goes there from the stock muffler, it may have been removed when the Greddy was installed (don't think that one uses it, it would've been banging around)

the bracket should still be there but the rubber piece and hanger that bolts there you probably need...

bracket,hanger : N3A1-40-190 (bolted to frame)
hanger,silencer : N3A1-40-061B (rubber thing)
hanger : N3A1-40-290 (bolts to cat-back)

you could probably fabricate the darn things before you could get the parts, depending on your skills of course

and.... I love my RB dual cat back too... sounds incredible!

sounds like your missing the support piece on the right side...which...as i have stated before... is connected to a rubber hanger...this bolts on to the metal plate on the right side of the RB cannister..

I just installed mine yesterday and as you stated, the right side of the canister has a bracket with 2 holes in it.
There should also be a hanger (as Amp said) on the passenger side of your car with a metal piece hanging from it. That piece has 2 holes in it. Racing Beat provides 2 bolts and 2 nuts to attach the bracket to this metal piece.

Thanks Drewroman,
that info helped a lot. Went down in the garage and the old stocker catback has the missing hanger:-)
No more bumming now, going to Fontana Raceway to the RX7 meet tomorrow....
RB should include that part with all the swaps we do.
