Got the exhaust hangers for my EVO the other day and installed them this weekend. I was unaware that these were not direct stock replacements in that I thought that they were actually the same size as stock just more rigid. I was obviously wrong and the difference is so great that my exhaust with the Kartboy hanger installed touched my bumper thus making it unusable. I was needless to say pretty disappointed in this. So tell me why these are not the same size as stock? If they were (as I gathered from your statement that they were "direct replacements") they would work better than stock for me. Keep in mind I do have an after market exhaust (as I would expect most people ordering this will/would/will have) so if you have a stock exhaust it might work great, heck if you have any exhasut other than the Espiler JGT500 it might work great, but for me it didn't. Thank you.

Hi
i just took at look at that JGT500 exhaust and it is WAY close even with the stock hangers
the hole centers with our hangers are the same as stock, altho we use a hardend urethane there will be less sagg like the stock ones will give you.
i've personally installed a few dozen sets of hangers on almost as many exhausts but that one looks like they raised the mounts up quite a bit over stock.
if the hangers are in a resellable condition we'll take them back.
sorry they didnt work out for your exhaust setup.

I can take pictures of the size difference. It is every bit the reason this doesn't work with this exhaust. I am not going to return them, they are used and I feel that you didn't really anticipate me using this exhaust so it is on me, but thanks for offering. I still am curious as to why you didn't just make them the stock size? Thanks for the time, and they are a lot hardier than stock I'll give you that.

Has anybody had problems using the Kartboy exhaust hangers on the RS-R GT2 with HKS downpipe? I have an issue of rubbing against the car. I hope these hangers take care of the issue. If you have any comments please hook a brotha up!

Warning to all with the RMR catback, the rear Kartboy hangers will bring the exhaust tip to such an angle that it will nuke your rear bumper, I now know this 
, otherwise I love the way the hangers have gotten rid of the sway of the exhaust.
