Purchasing an Xpipe off of ebay. Where can I buy proper hangers?
Hi fellas,
I'm going to purchase a Ford xpipe off of ebay, let me know if this is correct: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...spagenameZWDVW Where can I buy the proper hangers for the dual install? Thanks guys! |

I just google'd and got a couple links
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS http://www.pypesexhaust.com/accessories.html I really don't know if those will work.. or just call your ford dealer... they always have parts in stock but are a little pricey. |

You're talking about hangers (brackets, technically) for the mufflers, right?
Yes, they'll (the Pypes ones) work with any setup. They're exactly the same as the factory OEM brackets, but a better grade of steel or something and they don't cost as much. Go for it, those are 100% the ones you want (assuming you're talking about the brackets you need to hang the driver's side muffler, and not something else...) Edit: I bought mine from American Muscle http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...s-hangers.html Two brackets (or hangers, or whatever you want to call them) and all the bolts and whatever you need to hang your driver's side muffler. I think it's a little cheaper than buying direct from Pypes as well. |

Thanks BTW, I'm gonna go ahead and order the pypes brackets. |

As long as the setup you're buying comes with the x-pipe, over-axle pipes, and all the clamps, you're golden.
Then buy the hanger brackets (the Pypes ones are good), and off you go. You might also need a "tap & die" set (like so) to cut threads into the holes in the frame for bolting up your new brackets. The holes are pre-drilled, but they aren't threaded. Some people have just used the bolts themselves to cut the threads into the frame, and it's worked fine, but there seems to be more risk of messing stuff up doing it that way & causing yourself more problems, so if you have access to a tap & die set, that's probably the best way to go to make sure everything goes smooth. |

Wasn't aware that the predrilled holes weren't threaded...I'll probably end up purchasing a tap & die, I don't really want to use the bolts themselves to cut the pattern, that could mess up the threads on the bolts. Thanks for the info! |

To complete the install you need the band clamps for the X and the mid pipes connection, as well as the muffler hanger/brackets (2) for the muffler on the driver side. I used the Pypes muffler hanger/bracket and they worked fine. I picked up the band clamps (2) for the X to mid pipe connection at the local NAPA store

Just tapped holes for the muffler brackets yesterday. You'll need an 8mm x 1.25 tap, and
you can get just the onetap from Ace hardware for about $6. Don't forget to lube the tap each hole with 3 and 1 or similar oil and back out the tap after each turn tight to loosen the chips. I broke one tap on the rear outer most hole cause it is tight in there and I didn't set the tap square. Otherwise it took 15 min to do all. Good luck. Bob |
