TSP True Duals Hanger Question Today I ordered TSP's true duals. I was wondering how exactly the hangers on the mufflers are attatched to the car. I asked some questions to the guy on the phone at texas speed. He was very helpful and mentioned that people do it a few different ways. That being said, how did you guys hang your tsp true duals? PLEASE POST UP SOME PICS IF YOU HAVE THEM! Also, feel free to throw in any other tips that you can think of for the install! Thanks!

TSP True Duals Hanger Question Bolt, washer, and nylock nut is what I used. I had an issue with the mufflers not being far enough forward. I checked and double checked, everything was as far forward as I could get it. I had to heat/bend the hangers to get them close enough to the body to bolt them up. Not a big deal to me as the sound is awesome and LOUD!!! Worth it.

Yeah you just have to drill 2 holes in the floor board behind the rear seats.. I didn't need to pull the seats tho, just flipped then down and pulled back the carpet.. I did not have to heat and bend my hangers tho mine seemed to line up pretty close to the floor board.

I will finally be installing these in the next couple days, and I was wondering if someone could snap a picture of how everything goes together or link me to a thread that has some good pictures, as i have searched w/out much success. Also, I have heard of people installing the "x" pipe upside-down. How does that happen? It looks symmetrical on that plane to me, but perhaps I have not looked closely enough yet. Also, did you guys clamp everything together and then install it on the car, or did you install each peice one by one?

It's not rocket science. It will be pretty self explanatory once you start putting it on the car. Piece by piece is the best way. Start at the headers and work your way back. Leave the clamps loose until it's all together as you will have to adjust them to get them tucked up nice and neat for the best ground clearance. Best to do it with the car level and the full weight on the rear end to keep the torque arm as far up as possible. Make sure the x-pipe exit curve up and back. You will know what I'm talking about if you look at the x-pipe. Best of luck and make sure everything is as far forward as you can get it.

I am having serious clearance issues at the pipe between the drivers side header and the x pipe. Specifically the pipe that is closest to the x pipe (since there are two on that side). I only have MAYBE 3"-4" of clearance between that pipe and the ground. It hangs lower than my headers! How can I remedy this, or is that common or normal?

Jack up the rear diff to get the driveshaft higher and really tuck it up there.

I didnt install TSP Duals but something similar, and i found when i initially had clearance problems hanging them, it was because when the car is jacked the rear hangs, putting the driveshaft lower, thus ******* up your routing.
