Buster91dg Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I was wondering how much they actually help with vibration as them claim and do you use the stock bushing to mount against the frame Edited December 21, 2015 by Buster91dg Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I was wondering how much they actually help with vibration as them claim and do you use the stock bushing to mount against the frameI have them and am very happy with them. My opinion and experience they work. Quote
Buster91dg Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 Did you use the rubber mounts that are used for the stock ones Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Did you use the rubber mounts that are used for the stock onesAre you asking about the stock exhaust hangers? Quote
Buster91dg Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 Yes just wondering if the rubber bushing that is used with the stock hangers you have to use for the tm hangers do you have a pick of yours Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Yes just wondering if the rubber bushing that is used with the stock hangers you have to use for the tm hangers do you have a pick of yoursHonestly it's been so long since I've dealt with oem stuff that I can't remember anything about rubber bushings other then the oem hangers. Two pictures. You will have to zoom in. My chassis is not oem, so the adjustable design of the TM worked really well for me to make my pipes fit my frame just right. The design of them also seems to absorb shock and vibration very well and in my experience reduced piper hanger damage / cracking. Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Some additional info: I decided to use longer bolts to attach my TM hangers to the frame as well as the pipes. I then added a nut on the back side of the frame and pipe hanger. I threaded the bolts to where they just allow the hangers to pivot freely at the frame and pipe mount. I did this so that the hanger could pivot at all three points yet keep the pipes oriented correctly. 1) Frame mount 2) center pivot 3) At the pipe This seemed to greatly improve the entire situation.

Buster91dg Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 Yeah on my anyways it's a 1990 there is a rubber washer that goes against the frame and the hanger goes against it. Does anyone know if they used the rubber bushing to mount up the tm design hanger or just bolted it metal on metal Quote

Buster91dg Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 I can't even find that bushing on the oem parts fiche. Any body know what jt would be ubder Quote
Zillaguy Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 There's supposed to be a rubber washer between the hanger and frame? Quote
Buster91dg Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Posted December 23, 2015 There's supposed to be a rubber washer between the hanger and frame?I couldn't find it in the parts diagram Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 No. The only piece of rubber is in the oem hanger. There glued in. They aren't serviceable. It bolts to the frame and pipe. That's it. Quote
