Did a search but nothing came up....does anyone make a really decetn rear hangar for our cars....ie the one at the back of the muffler. I would like it to look more or less stock.... Oh yeah, just saw the parts place now has correct looking reproduction control arm bolts!!! 1/3 the price of the GM I bought!!LOL Seems things get better the older these cars get... Thanks Tim
Tim, Try Walker # 35870 (RH) # 35871 (LH) or Maremont # TH-385 (RH) # TH-407 (LH) I think NAPA Auto parts sell under the EXH35870 & EXH35871 numbers. Scott
tim: purchased the muffler hangers and the rear tailpipe hangers + proper clamps from year1 in spring 2004. clearcoated them before installing. all these metal parts s/b galvanized to resist rusting.
Tim, I just finished putting the 35870 & 35871 rear muffler hangers on my car. Without seeing an original I'd have to say these are a perfect match. Only trouble I had was getting them to attach at the muffler at the rear. The Walkers I have are made with a type of universal clamping bracket on the rear. These are welded to the case. I was able to leave them there & use a couple flat washers between the pipe clamp & the hanger. Only need about an eighth, maybe 3/16" Picked mine up at Carquest, real cheap, $6-7.00/each.
Thanks guys....all these little details are what drives people crazy but also make the difference beetween a nice car and a really nice car... Tim
Just checked with Gardner Exhausts and....... They only offer the clamps, hangers, and other accessories as upgrades if you are buying a complete exhaust system. Maybe somebody else knows how to get them to sell these items on a piece by piece basis?????
I need the tail pipe hangers too. I have a question though, that picture above of the tail pipe hanger, what attached "it" to the tail pipe??? This is the part I REALLY need. Everybody has the hangers, but no place I can find has whatever piece you need to actually "hang" the tail pipe to the "hanger"
Here's the hangers and the tips. Cha-Ching. http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/headline.asp?hid=215AB56798 Exhaust hangers for 1971-1972 Skylark models with the N25 exhaust-through-bumper system and the original 2-1/4 tail pipes. $145.00 N25A Exhaust tip pair for 1971-1972 GS models with the N25 exhaust-through-bumper option, 2-1/4 diameter. $338.00
The pipe is attached to the hanger with a regular old parts store muffler clamp (big U-bolt with a receiver and two nuts)
I think Year One sold the original type ring clamps the attached the tail pipe to the rear hanger. They are a little different than a standard clamp. These fit only stock diameter however.
