Where to get this exhaust hangar piece?

[SuperSix]

This is a refurbed unit:

Where did you get this one from?

I don't have one, I took the pic from TB.kom. m233roller is the one that sells them on there - I don't know if he still has any...

I dont use mine anymore but may have a NOS unit hanging in the shop & I'll make someone a deal if it's still there?
 
Reason I don't use mine is the Exhaust shop welded a bracket & rubber mount that goes to one bolt & I never installed the original again.

Even David's original would be a fine part, I'm running his orig Y pipe- its like mint.

I had the same problem of being ripped from aged, the replacement cost around $10.00 from AutoZone, couple of bolts and double nuts per bolts to secure. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/3A-Racing-Hang-it-all-tail-pipe-hanger-system/_/N-25vy?itemIdentifier=401067&_requestid=1367872

That looks just like the one that I just had...it was less than 6 months old.  I'm trying to find one of the stock or close to stock, but I'll run by AZ and pick one of those up tomorrow in the interim just so I can get some logging done to see if that's what was causing my knock.  Thanks for the link, it says there is one available for me locally so I'll see when I get there...lol.

If you want a really well made / high quality reproduction, then I'd suggest going with one of the stainless steel units.
I got mine from Brian @ GBody Parts when I first got the car.  Trust me......it will be the last one you ever buy!

Have had it installed for over 5 yrs and no issues. It's fabricated out of stainless steel & is built like Fort Knox.
You will be happy with this one!

At one point Brian sold "stock appearing" rubber strap for about $15 with stainless hardware & I may also have that unit if I didn't sell it? I  guess he uses those on the Stainless units?

[gordyzx9r]

Alright, probably a dumb question...

But I don't have a cat, my bracket is welded to my ATR exhaust.  That's not going to be an issue if I buy someone's stock part, or buy one of those pieces from gbodyparts or m33roller (he is out of them by the way so it's a moot point). 

I am kinda interested in getting that piece from gbodyparts minus the catylitic converter piece since it's already got a SS transmission mount with an HR parts poly tran mount.  How big of a PITA is that piece to change out, because I know nothing is every easy on these damn cars...

Really, I think that's all need...plus the hardware.

Looks like all you need is a chunk of tire.

Yeah, I'd like one like I had originally...I bought one from Autozone to use in the interim but it's not has wide or thick as the original.

[daveismissing]

Hard to fathom how that piece only lasted 6 months considering we get 20yrs on the
original?

Once you change to a larger downpipe/aftermarket exhaust, I figure a couple of years can be pretty good

Now that you supply some pictures, I can see what you have, suggestion.
Is it possible to drill another hole next to the existing one; the bracket is mounted on the tranny, and then use double the AutoZone straps?
AutoZone has two type of straps, one of them is thin, but the other as I mention before is thicker and I did compare it to the original strap and it is a little thicker.
If you double strap and make sure when you bolt them to equal length it should be as good as original; but then again thats my opinion.

With the setup pictured - you could probably use a few large exhaust oring/hanger thingies too.

Maybe the failed one wasn't bolted tight enough? Looks like all the load and stress was on the top of the bolt.

Another Autozone unit with larger, thicker washers, tightened more may last a lot longer.

Just a random though...
