Kartboy Exhaust Hangers

I just finished installing some Kartboy exhaust hangers. After adding my downpipe, axle-back, and resonator, my pipes would rattle going around corners. Real annoying! Anyway this really seems to work. I was taking it pretty hard around corners today and no "clank".

Herez some picz:

You have to get the EVO kit since they don't sell them separately. It comes with one triangle looking hanger that we don't use, but minus one that we need. So, I picked the 4 that seemed to carry the most load and left the stock one that is closest to the bumper that holds the muffler since there isn't much weight back there.

Total was: $40

I know, kinda exspensive, but your car feels cheap when it rattles.

Ohh yeah... what a PAIN to get off the stock hangers. I ended up putting a skinny flathead screwdriver in the hole and poping it off with leverage. If you have the downpipe, the drivers side most foward hanger is the hardest to install. It's no problem putting on the Kartboy hanger, but getting the mount into the hole took me like 20 minutes of frustration. I ended up using two screwdrivers, a block of wood, and a large hammer. Leverage is you friend!!! I so didn't want to unbolt the downpipe.

A lil can of household oil should make it a lot easier to get the hangers on/off.

The only reason I'm hesitant on getting the sway bar is because I don't want to mess up my allignment. I know you marked it with a pen, but is that accurate enough?

Plenty accurate enough. I marked mine with a Sharpie, and just made sure it lined up when I tightened everything back up. No problems.

Installing a sway bar won't mess with your alignment at all. A tie bar is the one you have to watch your alignment with.

I just ordered mine. I've had great experience with Kartboy. I ordered the bushings and hangers for my mazda a few years ago. Everything was great.

Are any of the stock hangers super hard to get off? I may not be able to install all of them since the exhaust is already a VERY tight fit.
