My exhaust moves left and right a little bit while I'm driving.

It is an aftermarket catback. I've been able to hook it up to 3 hangers (2 on muffler, 1 right behind muffler). Those are the only hook ups for the exhaust. The next connection is by the header behind the cat.

What can I do to keep it from moving around? I was thinking of zip tying it in a few places, not sure where, but I guess I'll crawl under the baby this weekend.

Thanks.

zip ties will not hold the heat

have you put new hangers on ( the giant rubber band thingies)

a very large hose clamp right where it bend at the end of the floor pan holding a bar you fabricate with and old rubber hanger at the end then a second bar you fabricate to bolt to the rear subframe that the rubber will hang from.

Thank you guys.

I will defiinitely try the large hose clamp. I figured zip ties wouldn't work, was just hoping :).
