I've already researched about this problem for Apexi N1 dual exhaust and did not come up with my exact answer that i was looking for. Ok my situation is, this exhaust is in a s14, how come the exhaust is keep bouncing/hitting the bottom of the car(all hangers are good), also everytime i make a 90 degree turn it starts to hit the bottom again with weird sounds. I know this exhaust heavy, but is there anyway to fix this problem? ...before i swap back the stock exhaust...

have you tried polyurethane thingies to replace the rubber ones? less movement because they are stiffer.

are you talking about the exhaust bushing(the oval one)? If so i just check them out on zilvia, but is there any other ways to fix this problem without spend like $20-30 on that bushing? o yeah i got a bit of exhaust leak too because one of the bolt broke off while taking off the old exhaust

Solution to fix sagging exhaust hangers: 3 inch worm clamps!

Simply put the worm clamps around the hanger and tighten up, it basically squishes it together and makes it fairly stiff. I've been using them on all of my exhaust hangers for about 6 months without any problems.

this might be a stupid alternative, but would the trusty zip tie work on this one? or would it melt.....

it might not melt if you're using a large enough a zip tie, but it could pop or have other crap happen too...
