Racing Beat missing piece?

I recently tired to install a Racing Beat exhaust on my 94 RX-7 but notice I did not receive a bracket that bolts into the plate on the right side of the exhaust (visible in the photo attached; ps I don't know why it keeps showing up sideways). Am I missing a piece that was suppose to come with the exhaust? It's strange because I did receive the two bolts that fit that bracket, but no hanger. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They didn't miss anything; it's intended to retain your factory bracket that is on your factory muffler.

Damn, that's nice to know RB has that hanger "upgraded". The stock one is just black steel and looks terrible on a nice shiny RB exhaust.

That price is VERY reasonable, the stock hanger is about the same price new.

I just picked one up from Racing Beat. I guess who ever installed the aftermarket exhaust threw out the old hanger. Anyways the new one will definitely match up correctly

OR they should provide customers with a complete exhaust system. $580 and it's missing an exhaust hanger. I know you can re-use the stock one, but there aren't too many Rx-7s out there with stock exhaust anymore.

They do. Add $25 to the price of the exhaust.

When I installed mine, it came with that exhaust hanger and I didn't pay extra for it. Thats wierd it isn't there, call them and ask if it should have been included.

It must be that everyone is feeling the effects of the economic downturn. Racing beat said they do not ship the exhaust with this piece as the exhaust is designed to use the factory hanger. Therefore if I wanted it I would have to the pay the $25 and shipping to get this part. I agree with the above statement that it technically should be included with the exhaust but it wasn't so I had to purchase it.

By the way if you anyone is looking for an HKS carbon fiber cat-back exhaust for an FD please let me know.
