TSP duals w/broken hangers? lil help plz Well, I tacked my TSP duals on last year. The welds held, but took a chunk of the aluminum floorboard with them 
Anybody mount theirs in an alternate way? Any help or pics of your setup would be greatly appreciated. I dont think I can mount them back in the same place since its no longer there ya know.

. . Its a thin stamped sheetmetal. You might be able to have someone weld a piece of sheet metal back in that location to fix. But make sure they take the carpet out or move away from heat.. John

SO.....Anyone mount theirs using some kind of different style hanger from a different point than the *sheetmetal* under the seat. I know somebody had to think of something better.

Got a plan, its so simple...I'm just gonna take some real thick sheetmetal, form it under the seats to give me a sturdy 2nd floorboard to weld through the flimsy to the thick inside layer I add.
Wow, thats some help there, lemme guess...your gonna eat the kit kat and play with your popsicle stick ppl while I work on the exhaust? Dont worry, providing comic relief and emotional support is much more helpful.

use a larger plate on the inside of the car behind the carpet. then drill holes through the plate to "spread" the load of the hangers over a larger area of the weak sheetmetal. Sorry to hear about your bad luck man, hope it turns out ok......
why the hell did you weld it on there anyways???? just about everyone i know just bolts it to the floorboard. How do you get the exhaust off once it's welded to the car?

I guess...dont pay much attn to ppl that bash a product and go into some retarded "yo momma" argument immediately after. Kinda takes away their credibility.
I dont have any qualms about the product, I've built my own exhaust for my trucks and had hangers snap right in half...**** happens.
Just keep an eye on your hangers if your reading this and welded yours on there.
