So this is exactly what is wrong with my car and i'm so glad i found this video. Mechanic just quoted me $800 to fix this issue. Im biting my tongue to say the least. Thank god for youtube in these trying times.
Surely your issue is more than just a broken hanger if you were quoted $800. What's on your quote as far as what needs to be replaced? I know there are rip-off artists but......
Many thanks for this video. Had exactly this problem and exhaust clamp and 20 minutes later job done. You never know when a quick fix can save time, money and give piece of mind. Great job.
Thank you my man! I been tryna fix my cobalt Exaihst problem for a while now since I have a heavier aftermarket Muffler/tip I’ve welded it about 4 times now!! This looks solid gonna try it and update.
Thanks for the video! My van has been shaking…. Looked under the vehicle, and the back box is hanging down like this. Going to try find the parts you’ve used and try fix it this weekend. Thanks from the UK
Great video. My hanger was rusted through. Broke off at the weld on the edge of back box. I luckily heard it going over a speed bump. I wasn't going fast but the car old and its a mazda 6 notorious rust buckets but keep going. It has a sports exhaust so twin pipes. Very expensive fix I put bungie cord temporary fix and tomorrow doing similar to this Was that a new exhaust insulator you fitted. The rubber piece?
@superchampable it's 2007 so older. Still keeps passing the mot though? I would like to get rid but unfortunately can't put a great deal towards a newer car and even then it might have more problems than the one I have? I rarely need to spend anything on it Since my last post i got a stainless steel cobra cat back used one on ebay. £100 and fifty pounds to deliver. Then forty to put on. Seems ok but I don't like the Subaru sounding noise 100,000 on the clock
@ciararespect4296 Exhaust, valve cover gasket, front and rear bushings, tie rod ends all went on my car. Was good for 10 years then every year something needs replaced. These are parts that do go bad and need replaced on a long life car but Toyota or honda would have lasted much longer. My front sub frame rotted out and was recalled but its my rear subfram that is really rusty and not a recall parts. Has me worried. Does you car see road salt snow? How many miles on it?
@superchampable I'm in the south of England. Very rarely we have salt /grit spreaders out but I don't often go out in really bad weather. I am coastal though so maybe more salt in the air? I bought the car at 50k extremely cheap. £500. An extremely short MOT Spent a hundred pounds on a rear quarter that had rotted out and it failed MOT on that and then it passed The first month the front calipers were binding so replaced them. Only £24 each new on ebay and forty to fit I've had it five years now averaging 10,000 miles yearly so it's at 100k. Not bad for £500!. It won't last much longer though? Agree toyota and honda are better cars but uf buying used u suppose it's the previous owners maintenance and usage that counts more sometimes
@@PhillipsVision thank you! i ended up temporarily taking some metal strap and looping it around a solid part of the car’s chassis and tying it down. worked like a charm
What can you do if the hanger rusted off the other end? The whole hanger piece is connected to my exhaust and rusted off the connection on the car. Thank you
To isolate the main chassis from vibration otherwise it would feel like your car is shaking. Every part that vibrates in your car has to transfer through rubber bushings or insulators like that including the engine.
@@lorenzod7829 If you're exhaust is bent enough to wear out an insulator in a matter of months, what would be the fix for this? I was going to buy another and then use a chain or something to help lighten the load on the insulator.
Hey man, I don’t know if you’ll see this but this is almost exactly what I needed. Unfortunately for me that little rubber piece came out. Do you know of the best way to glue/install a new rubber piece?? Thanks in advance.
Putting thread locker on the end of the nut is not going to do a thing. It cures only between the threads of the nut and the rod---absence of oxygen. Usually takes about 24 hours to fully cure. Otherwise, good job and will save someone a lot of money.
I have no muffler at all. Just my exhaust, i have 3 hangers/rubber mounts, the 1 hanger in the very back is for my non exsistent muffler so ignore that. Lol. I do however have one that broke off, so do i just need a new rubber mount and hanger?
@@PhillipsVision awesome, the only mounts i can fit for my exhaust are the middle and front, underneath...the very back doesnt have anything to support 😅 hence no muffler...cheers man!
i have a bmw,, there’s nothing above the exhaust pipe to clamp it onto, that bushing part is wayyy on the opposite side of where my exhaust pipe is… help idk how to keep it up , i’m currently using duct tape
@@PhillipsVision 2010 323i , i have a muffler delete so it’s just bare pipe where the muffler once was but it’s stayed up for months. idky it started falling now
Depending how high up it broke, you may have to weld a new one. If there’s a little bit of metal left, you may be able to drill through and bolt on a new stem.
A mechanic broke off the metal hook it had the rubber thing over on my exhaust system cuz my car was making a bad sound underneath and he said it was that hitting the muffler It wasn't even what it was I need a new shocks and then he broke that piece off and said it doesn't do anything anyways you don't need it???
Super helpful, money saving video. This is why YT was invented. Thank you sir.

Awesome, glad it helped. Unfortunately, some mechanics are rip offs

K Stewart keep in mind places like midas want to charge 700$ to change break pads and rotors. Greed sometimes knows no bounds
That's a whole new exhaust system in the UK for that money
@@brandongervais4694 *brake, not break
Many thanks for this video. Had exactly this problem and exhaust clamp and 20 minutes later job done. You never know when a quick fix can save time, money and give piece of mind. Great job.
My isolators are ripped through, but the mounts are surely next to go. Thanks for this video.
I’ve not yet seen the universal exhaust hanger! Thanks so much
So simple
Thanks! Alot easier than I expected! No welding!
Thanks for the video it's the best one I have seen. I tried using coat hanger but there wasn't any where to wrap it around that kept it tight enough.
Thank's for sharing, this exactly what happened to my wife's car and I'm sure save me money doing it myself.

that moment you finally decides to put on your aftermarket factory exhaust and the hangers don't match up. solved my headache thanks
Thank you video is very helpful

You saved me loads of money - thanks!
WOW!! That was a great video. Thank you very much!!

Was that a new exhaust insulator you fitted. The rubber piece?
What year is you Mazda6? Mine in a 2011 and your right, its a rust bucket. trying to decide if I want to keep it. 140k

What is the best way to get the rusted piece removed from insulator
How did he remove the rusty old hanger piece? Mine is still in a bit of an S shape and it’s tough to maneuver out of the rubber
Use a little oil to lubricate it, it should slide out with a little work
How do you replace the actual rubber insulator piece like you mentioned in the beginning?
Just slide the old off the metal hanger and slide the new insulator on.
@@PhillipsVision great so it’s just called “rubber exhaust insulator” at somewhere like advance auto?
@@dmac5678 yes
what if the metal connecting the insulator to the car broke off?
@@fromjahwluv you may need to through-bolt it to the frame or weld it
@@PhillipsVision thank you! i ended up temporarily taking some metal strap and looping it around a solid part of the car’s chassis and tying it down. worked like a charm
What can you do if the hanger rusted off the other end? The whole hanger piece is connected to my exhaust and rusted off the connection on the car. Thank you
Connect to the chassis and go around the exhaust pipe
Thank you 👍🏻
Good solution, great idea
Why do cars use those insulators in the first place? Why not just bolt the exhaust?
To isolate the main chassis from vibration otherwise it would feel like your car is shaking. Every part that vibrates in your car has to transfer through rubber bushings or insulators like that including the engine.

How do you take the muffler off a clamp like this?? It’s so difficult
The hanger is usually welded on, but you can slide it off the insulator
Great video
👍
Nice fix.
Cost me $10.51 to fix
thank you great job 👍
@@Alan-zi2rs thanks
I have one problem, my insulator is turn the opposite way of the bracket if you catch my drift? It’s 90° off.
Have you tried a custom bracket kit, where you can build it as needed?
@@PhillipsVision I thought I would take the chance and put it in my vise and bend at 90° and it actually worked.
Wow optimal fix 💪
Thanks a lot. Everything in Mazda is falling apart due to rust, exhaust included.
What if the hangar isn’t sideways like yours? Mine goes forward 😅
Hey man, I don’t know if you’ll see this but this is almost exactly what I needed. Unfortunately for me that little rubber piece came out. Do you know of the best way to glue/install a new rubber piece?? Thanks in advance.
You can purchase the insulator at any auto parts store. Trying to glue it won’t hold.
Super helpful video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
Thanks buddy, good man
Thank u🎉
Great I did not know you can buy that hanger, where I live I don't think I need thread locker I will rely on mother natures thread locker ( rust).
Just use thread locker lmao
Putting thread locker on the end of the nut is not going to do a thing. It cures only between the threads of the nut and the rod---absence of oxygen. Usually takes about 24 hours to fully cure. Otherwise, good job and will save someone a lot of money.
Ok so what if it’s the other piece, the one that connects to the car?
Im having that issue too
Thank you, saved me from buying a welder
you'll still probably need one
@@joemoore4813 I agree. A welder is something every car guy should have and learn to use
Much needed good sir

Yes, just replace the hanger and insulator (rubber piece)

What model and year BMW is it?
@@PhillipsVision 2010 323i , i have a muffler delete so it’s just bare pipe where the muffler once was but it’s stayed up for months. idky it started falling now
@@dolo_kaayy I checked the underneath layout. It looks like you don’t have much to mount to. See if you can attach it to the frame
Thanks man 👍😊 subscribed
Thanks, I appreciate the support
Very helpful, thank you!
Mine is all messed up. No mounts on it. Can't figure out a spot to even put a mount. The muffler is gone which is whatever...
Great video!
What can I do if it broke from the top metal part
Depending how high up it broke, you may have to weld a new one. If there’s a little bit of metal left, you may be able to drill through and bolt on a new stem.
Great idea💡
What if the hanger is on the actual muffler drum this method wouldn’t work
Very cool!!!
What if both of the hangers are broken from the frame and the exhaust
You will need to replace both with the hanger kits
@@PhillipsVision ok ty
My issue is the hangers broke off the body, ugh
A mechanic broke off the metal hook it had the rubber thing over on my exhaust system cuz my car was making a bad sound underneath and he said it was that hitting the muffler It wasn't even what it was I need a new shocks and then he broke that piece off and said it doesn't do anything anyways you don't need it???
