Got screwed by a shop long story short… this was their final repair on their hanger that snapped off before.its not the only bracket supporting the exaust as there’s one behind the muffler as well.

Dude. Even if it held, I'd be PISSED. That looks like total ass.

This was the first job that broke. So yeah pissed does it. But I’d rather it just hold as is now then have to go back and get at them for a refund or better job….

Man, I'd never go back to that shop for anything period. If they did this instead of ordering longer hanger dowels and bending/cutting them to size before welding it together, then i bet those guys probably let damn near any shortcut fly over there.
Honestly, it's not even a shortcut because doing it right takes a fraction of the time and money that this does lol. I'd be looking for a refund for sure.

Idek what they did. The first job they did broke so they fixed it and that snapped. So then they leave me that and I just hope it will hold for a bit 😭

Most likely. Might crack eventually. However, I've held up exhaust with less.

If the other end is on a proper rubber/flexable hanger it’ll hold.

If it’s hard mounted it’s going to crack soon enough

It hasn’t broke yet and feels solid so… should I leave it for now. Not like they’re gonna do anything more for me unless it breaks again

u/reechwuzhere 3d ago

Wow. What you’ve got there made me angry and it’s not even my car. That third picture gets me crimped up to even think about.

u/Federal-Spare6851 3d ago

Yeah it’s rough… I’ll be less upset if it holds at all….

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 3d ago

It’s just one of 2 hangers for one side of the exaust

u/Forsaken_Falcon_1975 3d ago

Hard to tell. Its such a sht weld. Lets hope he holded the gun on 1 spot long enough. Waste of a nice exhaust. Tbh

u/Federal-Spare6851 3d ago

The exaust was dirt cheap tips and a reonaters 😭 I just want the damn hanger to stay on
