Good point about the torque...
I recall from last GB that some were over tightening them. With the isolation feature you don't want to squeeze them too tight. As long as the lock washer is flattened then use a little 'blue' loctite if you feel you want to.

Yeah, i was surprised that my RE tran mounts called for 15 ft lbs only - this is so they do their job for vibration isolation. Don't know how much of that the hangers are doing vs strictly support...

Hope I'm doin it right...
The hangers fit great and allow much more positioning flexibility for the tips. These are picts of the passenger side, still working on the drivers side. As you can see, it would have been a LOT easier had DKF just used the same thread pitch on the mount as the stock (and aftermarket) nut that was welded on. I wouldn't have had to completely remove the muffler and hacksaw/dremel off the nut...

Could have easily swapped the mounts with the mufflers attached had DKF just used the proper thread pitch. Still torques me that I had to remove the mufflers for something that could have been solved so simply...

Those isolators are not available in the correct thread pitch.

yeah, it's not that bad. My problem was that my dremel couldn't get at the right angle, so I had to use a hacksaw for part. just a little sweat and grunting...

No nuts had to be removed/cut with Stromung. Pretty easy install.

I bought mine new 3 years ago .. maybe they changed the design? I was expecting to have to cut something but I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't have to.

I have the Rogue Engineering Exhaust paired with the DKF hangers. It def helped with centering the exhaust tips but I can't seem to get it to sit closer to the exhaust opening. Anyone else having this issue?
