So, got lucky and found a low priced 2nd hand Buschur exhaust, but have a few questions. I'm removing my eBay 3" exhaust, which mounted on the factory exhaust hangars like the stock exhaust. Apparently the Buschur exhaust uses bolts through the rubber mounts, or maybe more? Can anyone chime in and let me know what hardware I'll need to install. I also noticed that I was getting a little blow by through the slip on clamp, figure I would use some high temp exhaust RTV to resolve this, has this worked for others? Figure I would try that before getting a new clamp.
Mounts with a bolt above the muffler and a bolt under the rear diff. Try using a high torque air gun to tighten the clamp. Bolts need to have giant washers on both sides of the rubber hangers to tighten nuts down, and bolt length needs to be about and inch longer than the thickness off the rubber hangers.
Thanks for the reply, I've got a good idea for the bolt size now. However, looking at the mount near the exhaust tip, with the tip angled correctly, the mount doesn't align with the exhaust hanger to put a bolt through. Did the exhaust come with a bracket and two bolts to line up correctly? See the pic below, that's my alignment with the tip angled correctly.
IIRC, pretty sure the exhaust comes with its own mounting hardware. Maybe Buschur will sell you a kit. Why didn't you get the hardware from whoever sold it to you?

I bought the kit used, trust me, I'd love to have all the hardware come with it, and the gaskets. I don't want to bother buschur, seems rude to me to ask to buy hardware but not buy the kit, that's just my thoughts. I'll just be looking for a bracket or piece of metal I can use I suppose, be nice if someone had a pic of it.
Looks like the wrong rubber hanger is in place. There should only be a nut, bolt, and two washers through the rubber hanger and the hook from the muffler.

You might be right, pic of the yellow car might just have a different design hanger off the tip? Guess I'll have to play with it some
