And here’s a pic of the rear hanger that’s actually being pushed up rather than hanging down.

On a new exhaust install, not at all uncommon for the pipes to move / relax (yes even with clamps super tight) and need a touch up after the first few drives.
Not about clamps securing things in place, metal memory causing the issue.
Thats why we go insane trying to adjust a previously installed system where installer went wild with the mig on each and every connection.
As for lil bend / tweak req'd on the hangers, yup that happens almost every time.
Had 6 or 7 different axle backs on the 05, only one that bolted up with no bending or hassles and didn't move after heat cycling, Borla Touring.
I wish I could shim the hanger holder down but it’s bolted in a way that’s not really possible.

What's on my mind.... Would a 7.3L Godzilla engine fit in a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe?!? :rockon:
I think the wifey would appreciate the increase performance ;)
Best part, engine will bolt right in with no mods required.
Went to get Halloween candy today. One store was out and the other had minimal left. Should I have bought ahead? Well I probably would have eaten most of it by now anyways.
Can't remember when I had to cut my lawn on October 30th. Usually cold and/or snow on the ground.
Last year my calliper seized up. Left break dust sediments that won’t get off my rim. Would acid get it off ? Or do I need to redo the rim ? No damage to the actual rim itself

Brake cleans sometimes works.
Did you try a magic eraser or clay bar?
Finally cracked the top 100 in Canada in rating. 91st now to be exact. Only took me 7years and 244races. lmao

Got a lot done today.
First changed the oil on the wife’s car.
Then tackled the Mustang. So instead of bending the hangers I reoriented all the OA pipes and mufflers. Also turns out I didn’t fully insert the passenger side OA pipe into the band clamp where it joins the x pipe. Probably why the tip was touching the valance. Both tips have good clearance although I have them inwards now compared to the exhaust cutouts. I had other things I needed to do so I didn’t want to spend all day working on the exhaust since it’s getting colder and we’re getting less daylight. Maybe in the summer I’ll see what I can do or take it to a shop.

Other things I had to do were change the side markers and fog light bulbs to the Diode Dynamics ones. Much brighter. Since I already had the car on jack stands I took out the tray under the front bumper to get more room to work with rather than go through the fender liner. I also needed to take out the fog lights as one of them got condensation last time I went through a Shell deluxe car wash. I used RTV grey silicone around the seem of the fog lights between the front and back halves since they’re technically mini projectors. The side markers and fog lights are much brighter than the bulb counterparts. I had Hella yellow fogs and the DD LED are brighter. I can actually see them when I’m driving as before I couldn’t tell they were there.

And lastly I changed the cabin filter and changed the oil. Back to full synthetic now.
Couple rants:
Why would you put the cabin filter under the windshield cowling?
How can you vertically adjust the fog lights when the bracket that holds it in place is covering the adjustment screw?
You know what Honda does? They put the cabin filter behind the glove box. Takes a minute to change and no tools needed.
You know what Honda also does. They leave holes in the tray under the front bumper so you can stick a screwdriver in it to vertically adjust the fog light.
What’s wrong with you, Ford engineers.
Try using some IronX on the wheel then clay it.
Wow
Managed to get the snows on one vehicle before January

I did too. Wife's car had a flat, valve is shot. It had a slow leak for a bit, had to add air every couple of weeks. Then I got an oil change on the weekend and I think their checking the pressure was the final straw. Also been driven on flat a couple of times although for very short distances so I'm sure the sidewall is messed up. I'll keep an eye on tire sales over the winter. I've been very happy with the motormaster se3 tires that came with my Kia, if they come up on sale I'll probably grab a set.
well fuck. still only half a roof and woke up to snow on the ground. hopefully melts quick and the nice weather they talked about this weekend happens so i can get the rest of the roof up.
Took Jr out to practice driving don’t know how you Fathers of teens do it, even after all his in car sessions he wasn’t very good- butt puckering moments the whole hour
Aggg- gonna start from sq1 with this guy
^ Don't know what your talking bout. ;)
I should’ve! One thing this guy is good at is aiming directly and going over every pot hole, manhole and sewer grate with damaged asphalt! I just cringed .
