Best way to hang an exhaust

[DesertBen44]

As the title states, looking for a good way to hang the stock exhaust system on a 7.3 4x4

The hanger by the muffler as well as the hanger by the tailpipe are both shot, any creative yet successful ways of hanging it without buying new mounts? Not interested in the 7 dollar auto zone aluminum tape with holes in it, something that would last. If I have to buy factory hangars then thats that, not really worried about it just trying to see if anyone has a cheaper/better way of doing it?

Thanks in advance! Exhaust is chilling comfortably on the brake line right now when I hit speed bumps

I have yet to beat the stock mounts

Coat hanger or extension cord.

Funny you mention the extension cord thats what it had on it, looks like it had been there for a while too.

That's what's holdin my tailpipe section up. I used what I had and wanted it on the road. Been workin good for over a year.

Guess ill price the hangars from the dealer tomorrow, and depending on how violated i feel that will definitely be an option.

How about a junk yard

How about something like this? dealer hangers will prob be much more pricey. these seem to be pretty rugged. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...-1&redirectkeyword=exhaust&pt=N0910&ppt=C0022

I used three super large sized wire ties as a temporary measure which have held up quite well. They may become permanent at some point.
I've seen someone use a couple of steel bands like what is used in shipping large crates too.

I have used this style several times on gas and diesel vehicles with good results. You can shorten it after you find the length you want.

You asked for the "BEST" way.
I's have to agree that the factory mounts are the best way. You can cobble up a way to mount it, and many have, and they may work work quite well, but the best way , IMO, is the factory way.

I have a few of the universal strap hangers on my exhaust. No problems to speak of.
