For anybody who has the MBRP. My kit came with a rubber hanger and I am interested to where it goes. My guess would be for the hanger closest to the flange on the tail end pipe. But I would like to know for sure.
O3 ZX3: Drl-to-drf Mod, Racing mirrors, Shorty antenna, B&M short shifter, Focus Sport 4-1 race header, Focus Sport front strut stabilizer, MBRP cat back, RaceCraft springs, Eibach Pro dampners and struts, RaceCraft 25mm rear stabilizer, Hella lights, Core Racing 17"s.
VF Supercharger Kit (Stage 2)
"I usually don't do this type of work." "I thought you were a professional driver?" "A different kind of driving.".
When I did the MBRP I found that using the supplied hanger hardware resulted in a "droopy" exhaust tip. Probably an inch of space between the tip and the bodywork. So I looked at the MBRP hanger and the stock hanger and came to the solution of cutting a length off the welded-on hanger and re-using the stock rubber. Now it sits ab. 1/4 " away.
This was the only beef I have with the MBRP kit. I love the sound. Congrats on your choice!

I saw your plans for an exhaust, race header + MBRP. Go buy ear plugs :P
The hanger is for the rear support, also go buy a longer bolt and some washers because ligning it up is a pain. What I did is just cut off the hanger they put on mine and re-welded one that aligned it better.
