exhaust hangers fatigue?
Hey ppl, I have an 85 gs and recently replaced the entire exhaust system. I installed a header, then pipe, then a glass pack, ( for a presilencer) , then more pipe, then a flowmaster muffler. You can hear it WELL when I get on the gas. The problem is after a couple of days break-in, my exhaust rattles. I'm wondering if it got too hot with the header and stretched out the hangers, should I try new hangers or just give in and get a racing beat system? Anybody else have this happen?

If your rubber exhaust hangers are original, it's time to replace them anyway. http://www.mazdatrix.com/e7.htm
But your rattle could be one of your new components hitting a heatshield. Also, keep in mind that glasspack mufflers have a tendency to melt with rotary exhaust heat. Using one closer to the header will just increase those chances.

Yeah, I guess the glass pack was a bad idea. It was an afterthought. I added it to quiet the car down after I put the new exhaust in. So what is a good presilencer to use that can withstand the heat?
