    Sonava ***** I can't find the post I made about the exhaust gasket. I thought I snapped pics and sent it somewhere but I don't have them. And yeah I got a 32inch glasspack. I'll see how it all fits up first. I need to get the correct gasket maybe. And hangars. And I think I'll be ready to start

    the hangers by the flanges are the round ones at the parts store, like a inch round, they do stretch.

    the gasket the parts store had for like 8 bucks. or ask the muffler shop for it with the flange. that flange should cost no more then 10 bucks.

    but you'll never find it at a parts store. only the muffler shop, or on line. on lines not much cheaper.

    I've seen different size resonators on these cars but when the time comes for my 06, I think I'm gonna grab the 36" Magnaflow resonator.

    I have the hangars off the dp. That's the only ones by the rez. And I'm just pissed I asked for a specific gasket from gm and after reiterating it four times they sold me the wrong one inthink. I'll take pics and post when I get home. It's in my tool box. Red told me to get the oem gasket. Not a walker one from advanced

    NAPA does sell the donut style hangers for the resonator hangers and the hangers for the mid pipe and mufflers. All the hangers are made for our cars. The other option is the dealer

    Those are the only two I need since I already have one stock muffler hanging. Just need ones like that. I need the brackets. I'm essentially doing a stock set up. Just in the process converting from single to dual

    ok, you need that bracket. junk yard part. its 2 bolts on the inside of the bumper. take the bolts too.

    the Y pipe hanger on the driver side, you may not need anything to hold it up. or you can have a shop weld in a hanger bar to the car bottom near the hook on the pipe. then put the hanger on it.
