HKS 04 Sedan muffler Bracket issue

I only got one rubber hanger from my bracket kit. Everythingg35 is telling me to use both the 05 hanger and the 04 hanger...


did anyone else get only one hanger w/ their bracket kit? if so, how did you mount it....i dun want to remove my new bracket to put my old one on and find out it rubs

you have 1 bracket on your car right now...but you need 2 to hold the hks, therefore you have a bracket kit to add onto the existing bracket on your car....1 (on your car) + 1 (from the bracket kit) = 2.

yea, but the 05 hangers are different. I will have to bend my 05 rubber hanger to make it hold up...just seems a little messy. might as well get the other hanger

I had the same issue Neal and I gave up trying making that stupid hanger fit properly. I took the muffler to a local shop, cut both hangers and welded them back on to make them fit my '05 OEM brackets. $40 later it's perfectly tight and straight.

It is stupid. There was a big issue a while back with this and I thought EverythingG35 said they were going to start sending both rubber hangers. Evidently not. Order another one and you will be fine.

When I ordered mine from Riverside I got lucky because they sent both hangers.

hey guys, i'm going to take my hks muffler to a muffler shop and have them cut and weld the new hangers to fit the stock brackets.

my question is: which hanger on the muffler do i have to cut? i two hanging closest to the tip of the muffler (the two shiny hangers)? or the one hanger on the tube (black color hanger)?

yeah my questions do sound dumb.
