Don't know about that...I'd get the fourth hanger first and see if

that doesn't fix it. I know Pete and Bob have the cats on their TT at Strat and love 'em.

I will put the hanger on the car, but...

I did stuff some rubber up between the body pan and the exhaust and it still resonated. I don't hold out much hope. But, I will let you all know the results. Thanks

I don't want to get use to vibrating resonate frequency. That's just poor engineering!

P.S. if you bought the Milltek from Stratmosphere, give Pete and Bob

a call...they are very responsive to issues ;-) Don't get frustrated...I had a biTTch of a time with spacers and all worked out okay...oops, sounding like Mom gain. Good luck.

Finally found the pic I was looking for...this is the hanger

you are missing...can't believe that wouldn't make a big difference.

as someone who drove with milltek without the hanger for 5k miles - hanger makes HUGE difference...

especially with the dreaded 3k rpm vibration. i never would have believed it. Also make sure your center pipe is rotated correctly and is pushed back onto the catback pipe all the way.
