Exhaust Pipe/Muffler Hanger: Description and Operation

NOTE: The installation of exhaust system hangers is very important, as improperly installed hangers can cause annoying vibrations that can be difficult to diagnose.

Two types of hangers are used to support the exhaust system. One type is a conventional rubber strap. The second type is a "rubber block". The rubber block type provides a rigid hanger along with a feature that continues to support the exhaust system if a rubber insulator block is broken.
