Got my Hushpowers on but the muffler slipped on the hanger and burned the rear valance a little. Would those plastic wire tires around the hanger keep that muffler from slipping?
Best way to hold mufflers in place

if the connection at the over the axle pipe is tight it shouldnt move at all. those mounts are pretty good actually. iv had my exhaust on and off my old car a few times and twice on my new car with no issues like that.
It's the very back hanger. The muffler will slide on the hanger and the tip hits the valance. You can slide the muffler back and forth by pulling on the tip.
Oh they're tight enough. It's just the rubber won't hold them in place to keep them from sliding.
I put zip ties on each side of the exhaust hangers on mine. If I get a chance I'll snap a pic for you.
I just found out Flowmaster includes hanger keepers to keep the mufflers from sliding on the wire. Trouble is, I had a shop install these as I also had them install the Lethal over axle pipes. I couldn't get the car in the air far enough to get the old exhaust off. Since that was two weeks ago, those keepers are gone. I know what they look like now, just need to find a set or call Flowmaster and see if I can get some.
They're called tooth lock washers you can get the from your local hardware store for cheap. Size is probably 3/16ths but measure just incase.
I called Flowmaster and they are sending me the keepers for free. I offered to pay but they said no. Can't ask any better than that.
i have flowmasters and dont have this issue. a shop installed your mufflers right? did you double check the connection to see if it is actually tight? or are you just saying they are? if they are tight enough your mufflers shouldnt move period. those hangers are just supports. you get the connector snug then move the muffler around to make sure the tip is where you want it then tighten the connector. no keepers needed at all.
