mitigated some slightly saggy exhaust tips by replacing the factory rubber hanger bushings with some polyurethane ones. Pulled things up about 1/2", which is exactly what was needed

Could you provide some pics of what you did. I can see the result, but not clear to me how you achieved the outcome.

Thank you

Are these comp tips on OG? Looks spot on with the carbon too

I'll try and get under the car and grab some later today, raining a bit now. All I did was replace the two rubber bushings that attach the exhaust hangers to the brackets with polyurethane ones

M4 gloss black slant cut tips. I removed the stock tips and cut off ~1.5" each pipe so they didn't stick out so far

Thanks.

I have just one side hanging a tad lower than the other so I bought a few that have multiple height options to play with:

Nice fix for the saggy exhaust! I've been meaning to do this since I installed Cyba tips. With aftermarket tips installed, the sag seems to be more noticeable.

I actually bought some of the rubber ones by accident at first, and even though the static difference between the holes was less than the OEM hanger, when the weight of the exhaust was added, they sagged even more than the OEM ones.

A shot from earlier. 2.5 threads showing in the front now, and it's close to perfectly matched with the rear.

That's not very reassuring, lol. I ordered one of the polyurethane ones you got as well just to be safe. Thanks for the info.

Yup. Thats pretty much identical to my gap. (though I'm pretty sure I cannot eyeball anything smaller than a 5 or so mm)

Looks good!

Thanks for this! My stock exhaust is hanging a bit lower than I'd like and it's been bugging me. Just put in an order for two of these hangers.

Thank you Matt

How do you install that blue piece? Does it just slip/snap in and 'hold up' the braces?

the stock rubber pieces have a slightly smaller diameter hole, so take some work to remove (use a lubricant) if you don't have an exhaust hanger tool. If you have the tool, it's a 2 minute job even with the car on the ground (though ramps make it a lot easier, I was just lazy)

Honestly, this is a new topic to me, so forgive my questions. . . so, this 'tool' you reference, is it a couple bucks at AutoZone? Do you have to remove any bolts/screws, or do the stock part and new part just pop in and out?

Thanks for taking the time to spell it out for me.

proper tool name is 'exhaust hanger pliers' and you can probably rent from Autozone. I use any job as an excuse to buy new tools, so I just picked up a set from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012S9A5U ).

There are two posts on each side, one attached to the body, one to the muffler, and they are connected by a rubber bushing. The tool presses the bushing off the post using the post as leverage. The new bushing just presses on with minimal effort. I found it easiest to remove from the body first, and install on the muffler first.

Cleaned it, then drove the damn thing on gravel.

Took the M2 out for a nice drive. Then washed it. Love how it shines in the sun.

Huge fan of this car as you probably already know

Any plans for a front reflector delete? Would really clean up the front IMO.

I contacted Powerflex regarding shorter exhaust mounts as well. This was the reply:

I believe that I may have found a mount that will work. The one pictured on the right is the one that we normally offer for the F87 chassis - part number EXH032. The one pictured on the left is part number EXH001. The holes for the lugs appear to be almost, if not exactly, the same diameter. They are just closer together, which would raise the exhaust!

I am still not certain that it would fit, seeing as how it is a completely different shape, but this was the best example that I could find!

Swapped start buttons and put on the strut bar

You're awesome! Thanks for sharing this, my fabspeed exhaust hangs crazy low
