New in Box 3in Mufflex Y-pipe hanger 3 inch Y-pipe hanger brand new in the original box, upgraded to duals before i tried it on the car....slips over the y and mounts using a existing bolt under the car.....has 2 rubber vibration blocks and is constructed like a band clamp....They sell them for $40 before shipping so i'll take $40 shipped.
STRAIGHT FROM TR'S WEBSITE:
"It's a well known fact that all LS1 Camaros and Firebirds cars have a "banging" issue when a set of long tube headers are installed. This banging causes the knock sensor to activate, causing a timing retard, taking away much needed horsepower under hard acceleration (usually at a drag strip when traction is ideal). This Mufflex hanger uses a rubber bumpstop that will not allow the Y-pipe to hit the underbody of the car causing this situation. The lower clamp and support rods are made out of stainless steel (tig welded for strength) and the upper rod is zinc coated steel."

it uses one of the crossmember/hanger bolts....like I said i have no idea how it mounts exactly b/c it was never even put on the Y....i guess someone could call TR and see what they say...its a nice piece and a bunch of ppl use them and say they work real well so idk.
