Default Installed Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust!

Finally installed my hyper medallion and it sounds AMAZING! im absolutely in love with the sound, its perfect.

My only problem is the driver side and passanger side mufflers dont seem to be sitting flush (or even for that matter) with eachother. Also, the drivers side muffler seems to be loose (like the rubber hangers are showing age) so over large bumps the muffler makes a clanking sound.

Should i go ahead and order new OEM rubber hangers from Sewell or is there another option for getting the exhaust secured and lined up?

the O shaped hangers double check that both of them are on. alot of times the shops only hang back 1 on each side there should be 4 in the back (2 on each muffler) and 2 on the mid pipe. i replaced mine at autozone and the drivers side sticks out slightly more but does not hang lower like some folks have happen.

you have all 4 rubber hangers on or just 2 total? should be 2 on each side BTW ANY exhaust place should have them

i got them locally from a exhaust distributor, same place i got my flange gaskets for my greddy exhaust since the used one i bought didnt have any

Thanks everyone for the warm? words of advice. Unfortunately we had a tornado touch down in the tri-state so pictures/video didnt exactly happen. Stay tuned tomorrow for some pics/video of the exhaust. Seems theres only one short clip on youtube of the Hyper Medallion so im gonna get a bunch and put them up for everyone!

Working on getting some new hangers as all 4 (2 each side) are on in the rear.

I read somewhere on here that you can use hose clamps, but keep the rubber ones on as backups.
