Question Exhaust moves & rubs rear gound effects

Anyone else having this problem of your exhaust tip moving to the right and once in awhile rubbing the rear ground effects?
I have a HKS Hi-Power exhaust. This started about 3 months after I put it on. I need a fix for this if anyone has one. Thanks

The only things I could think of is that the rubber portion for the exhaust hangers are worn or the exhaust is not seated properly, or while installing the exhaust you got grease in between the rubber and the hanger causing it to move abit.

Thumbs up

I guess I could buy a new rubber hanger. It was a pain to put on though.
Thanks

I do recall Cusco making polyurethane hangers, in case that may help.

I also have this issue with my strup v1 but it has that slant and hangs really low and did not want to take away from the look so i just left mine,It has some light melting around but ehhh!! so minor to notice unless you zero in on that area.Also be aware of the gasket if its a rear only section muffler when it moves around alot it will tear the gasket up

Yeah that might be a good start, do they look worn? if they dont it might not be worth it spend the money then struggle with them because you are right, they are a _____. Give em a little tug to see if they seam to stretch a decent amount
