Does anyone have a picture of stock dual cat exhaust? I'm trying to figure out how the exhaust hanger bolts up to the y-pipe under the passenger seat. Seems like something was bolted to the crossmember or tranny tunnel somewhere, and then a hanger was stuck through that?

 

Somebody asked the same thing in the last 12 months or so and someone posted lots of pics. Do a search with the words in your subject line.

 

Shoebox has most of this stuff.... no one ever seems to check there first:

Dang, I have to remember to start checking there first. I am always wondering "WTH is this actually supposed to look like?!" Great reminder for us all!

 

I actually did check there first. I was looking for real pictures though, and the schematic is good but I couldn't figure out how that mount bolted to the body. Maybe I just don't know how to read a schematic. I see that bolts or nuts #30 attach to something, but I'm not seeing where/what.

I also searched the forum for the words "stock exhaust" but didn't find any photos. I'll try researching with some different terms.

 

 

If I recall, The hanger is bolted to the tranny.

 

Thanks Eric!

Do you think it bolts up like this:

 

The bracket is not that big. I'm pretty sure that it does not follow your line. I'll look around for some pictures. If I don't find any, I'll try to get some this weekend for you.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

 

IIRC, the other side of that bracket (on the other side of the tranny) is the torque arm bushing. The bolt(s) go all the way through the tailshaft. It's a bit of a bugger to work on, IIRC it is easier if you drop the rear of the tranny a bit so you can get wrenches on it.

 

Hmmm, I wish I had not of removed the hanger lol. It's been many years since I did that. I can't even remember how that hanger would fit on the torque arm bushing.

Ace, any new pics?

 

I'll have to get them this weekend. I could not find any on the machine with me.

 

Hey Ace, were you able to snag some new pics? Just wondering, thanks man!

 

Is the top of the bracket right next to the bolts for the torque arm bracket (bolt heads - the actual TA bracket is on the other side of the tranny)? I know on the earlier years, that's where the support bolted, as was indicated in a post above.
