Exhaust Hanger for Magnaflow 93441

Just as the title says, what hanger will fit the bracket of a Magnaflow 93441 cat? Would the hanger off of a 5.7 single cat work?

I tried the one off of my old cat but the holes didn't line up and I can't drill new holes.

Sorry if this was already posted somewhere, I couldn't find it.

Thanks

How far apart are the mounting holes on the cat? Is Walker 35245 any closer?




If the Walker hanger, and the stock hanger won't line up, you'll need to get creative. Line up the closest hole, mark where the next closest hole should be, and drill... Or hit the Walker hanger/insulator catalog PDF (https://www.walkerexhaust.com/conten...Insulators.pdf) and figure something out.

It's not rocket science, cut, drill, weld, fabricate, something to mate the two together. A farmer with bailing wire can do it, so can you!

Can't drill new holes. $20 drill at Harbor Freight says otherwise.

That's the solution to your problem.

I already did that, the cat is on the car. Only problem is the old hangar holds the cat flange at about a 30 degree angle, so the flange hits the ground when going over big bumps.

Im just going to cut something out with a grinder and get a shop to drill the holes, unless I can find the correct hanger for the right price.

You know the bracket is upside down in your photo, right?

Re: Exhaust Hanger for Magnaflow 93441

Have you tried loosening the exhaust flange and turning it to be perpendicular to the ground, then snug the bolts? On the stock cat, the flange cant turn, it's welded. With the free floating flange, the joint tension has to hold the bracket square. How shot is the rubber? They get more floppy as the rubber gets soaked in oil, atf, or dry and cracked from age.

No, It's on two bolt holes. At some point I'm just gonna make a new hanger bracket.

Thanks for the advice.

All the hanger in the world isn't going to change how the flange is clocked wrong on the converter. The flange on the cat needs to be horizontal when the intermediate pipe is tightened. If the exhaust flange doesn't tighten up enough to keep the flange from rotating, take the cat off the car and tack weld the flange perpendicular to the cat body.
