Hi,

I just received thru mail my new straight pipe to replace the dpf & cat. Is it normal for these pipes to come without hanger brackets to connect to the stock exhaust hangers? It seems to me that without them, unwanted stress would be added to the turbo down pipe. Or did I receive a cheap version of this kind of pipe?

thx

 

No that is how they come, mine has ben on for about 2 years and no issues

 

That is strange, my delete pipe has the hanger brackets on it. Maybe some do and some don't?

 

looking on the web.. seems the DOC pipe does, and the DPF pipe does not..

My dpf/cat delete pipe didn't come with a hanger either. I think the reasoning behind this is you are replacing a 80lbs dpf/cat with a 10lbs straight pipe. I think the major decrease in weight is the reason behind this.

 

mine did not come with one either

 

Probably right about the decrease in weight. But I'd feel better if it had at least one hanger close to the down pipe. Seems like the 2 piece versions do, but mine is a one piece.
