[DeTomaso] racing with mufflers

[mark skwarek]

I have been using the stock type hanger by the muffler. This last weekend the exhaust pipe 3" tore in the middle.   I'm also considering 180's but have not figured out how to support the exhaust pipes at the rear. 
 
Larry in sure it was not from runninng the high banks but on the road course infield.

Are the hangers spring loaded, rubber mounts, or solid weld connected? Solid connections break every time. There has to be some give and insulation from vibration in the areas that are breaking.

I have been having problems with my mufflers breaking welds and breaking the exhaust pipe itself while racing on a road course. What do you racers do to correct for this? Do you run a straight exhaust pipe ( no muffler)?
