GMMG install problems.

GMMG install problems.
I went to install my gmmg catback this afternoon, and the hangers dont line up very well at all. The exhaust will be tucked up way too high if i slide the hangers in. I was thinking about shimming them down with some washers or something, but im not sure if it will be enough. Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: GMMG install problems.
I'd like to help but I had to fab mine to fit from an LS1 to my LT1. I just stole the stock hangers off my stock catback and bent them to fit my needs. Is it just the rear two or the third by the PHB also?

Re: GMMG install problems.
theyre all the same
ls1, lt1, it's still the same catback
i think i do remember pulling down on the mufflers to get the tips just right (actually, just pulling on one side to get them level)
yea, i'd do what dustin said and just try the stock hangers, maybe it'll work

Re: GMMG install problems.
Not sure if they are universal, but mine was used off a LS1 so I had to mod it a bit to fit the way I wanted. Originally it wanted to push the tips against the bumper. 2 Stock hangers, welding, grinding and a pry bar later, it works great. Good luck.

Re: GMMG install problems.
They sell hangers for the LT1 when buying their system. The LS1 hangers are different. Just for future reference when someone wants to buy their exhaust for the LT1. 20 bucks for the kit.
