exhaust rubber hangers break?

[Russell]

I just found that my two center exhaust system rubber hangers are broken. I noticed a bit of odd droning at certian speeds.

Any idea what causes this? I would assume age and weight as the rear rubber hangers are still there. Guess I just will replace the center rubber hangers at this time. Think I can just lift the car (place on jack stands as needed) and stretch the hangers or lift the exhaust with a jack.

One of mine was missing, the other was broke.

It's a total bitch to get the new ones on btw

heh, i removed my rear bumper to get the rear outside one in. Others claim to magicky pop em on with 1" of room.

I used a jack to gently lift the exhaust to fit the new hanger on.
There was NO way i could have stretched the hanger enough.
Didn't need to lift the car, just did it on the driveway ~5min.
