Ok, I finally bought the Pypes True Dual kit for my 2010 V6. Dropped it off at the shop today, and they put it on the lift and immediately realized the hangers that are supposed to be attached to the crossmember aren't there. So, the mechanics there told me they need to find those hangers to attach the x-pipe.

Here's the problem, I had made sure, and I mean, MADE SURE I had everything to install the exhaust. I just did research and discovered that the 08-'10 sixers don't have these hangers on the crossmember, and are very hard to come by.
Are the mounts necessary? Because I also found information saying the mounts aren't needed at all because how the system is already supported and hung.

Thanks for the help.

Don't worry you don't need them, there's a TSB out there to remove them as they are only there as an assembly aid and are known to cause rattle.

The TSB is for center console rattles

Nothing supports my exhaust from the cats back except the muffler hangers.

its been a long time and i`m 2nd thinking right now. if it wasnt snowing, i`d go look but i think those hangers are connected to the y pipe. and i think i cut my y pipe after those hangers for my h pipe, so i think i still have them. i dont think they are really needed and ya, alot of guys cut them off trying to stop rattles or drones. ive never had much of a issue

Thanks!

I just needed proof that I was right so the mechanics wouldn't go insane trying to find the mounts for my car.

Got it back today. May have cost 275 for the installation. But it was totally worth it

By chance will I need to retune my car? The exhaust sounds amazing, but is beyond loud up to 3000 rpms, and then even out to be real throaty at 3500 and up.

No, retune not needed for exhaust. But if you're still using the stock air intake, get a CAI and tune at the same time. You'll fee the difference with the tune THEN!

Already got a JLT CAI and a Bama tune. Just wondering if they retuned it if it would help with the little bit of drone I have.

tx_zstang

Nope. Drone is due to the mufflers. Certain ones are far worse than others.
