Talking install day

woohoo, stopped by thunder racing yesterday and bought a hooker cat back exhaust system, k&n fipk, hypertech power programmer, and a 160* thermostat.
me and my friends installed all of it today, theres only one problem

my right pipe doesnt have a hanger and it moves around a little bit, did anybody else have this problem? i put some tie straps around it to make sure it stayed in place but its rattling agains something and makin a weird noise. any suggestions?

anybody else w/ an a4, what rev limiters did you put and what mph shift did you put. also whats a good temp for the cooling fan.

thanks for the help, i saved about 300 bucks on installation today, very much needed.

also some cop stopped me for speedin even tho he didnt clock me and wrote me a bull**** ticket what a way to ruin a good day... oh well its gettin fixed tomorrow

Hanger

I'm not familiar with the Hooker catback, but are you saying that you are missing the stock hanger or that the catback has no hookup for the stock hanger? If the catback didn't come with a way to hang it on the right-side stock hanger, then you will have to have one welded on. Need more info to clarify.

got it all fixed up, there wasnt a hangar there in the first place so i took a socket wrench and an extension for my garage jack to get more leverage and tightened it untill i felt it was secured, it doesnt move anymore
