Hello, i have an 88' vert and i'm want to replace my exhaust system. Problem is, apparently the exhaust system isn't using any rubber exhaust hangers, instead the exhaust system is held in place by long welded pieces of metal; so no rubber in between. Does anyone know if i can purchase the metal hooks that belong to the car and then attach rubber hangers to properly install the exhaust system? Would a muffler shop have them or will i have to custom make them? Thanks!

 

Rubber hangers are available from any normal parts store, an exhaust shop, or cheap even from the Mazda dealer...

Is the welded metal attached to the car or the exhaust? Or did they weld the exhaust directly to the car?

 

They welded the exhaust directly to the car.

 

If you're replacing the exhaust with a typical aftermarket system, hooks will be part of the setup. You'll just need to buy stock rubber hangers and to cut the old exhaust system off of the car.

 

Great! Thats the answer i was looking for! Thanks!
