Stiffer Exhaust Hanger Options
Hello all, I recently installed a Berk Race axleback. I also have VRSF dps and n55 mids with a vibrant resonators.
I have attached a picture of where I believe a rattle/knocking sound I hear when going over bumps is coming from. Before bringing it to an exhaust shop to get welding done, I would like to try using stiffer exhaust hangers. The only issue I have is I have had no luck googling aftermarket stiffer exhaust hangers for the e82. Please let me know if anyone has had recommendations/good experiences with stiffer exhaust hangers. Thanks! |

Not sure if it helps or not. My berk mids where knocking on the brace under the car. I used a worm clamp around the rubber hanger, tightened it, and it brought it up enough to clear/stop making noise.

There's a fair amount of interchange between 1M and 135i hangers. The 1M exhaust is pretty mobile so a few people have purportedly have had success with this one - https://www.amazon.com/TORQUE-SOLUTI.../dp/B007IQ4N9I
I have one sitting in the garage (still uninstalled) but it seems much stiffer than the OEM as well as the E92 M3 hangers. |

Wierdest thing ever... The nut for this bracket has backed off the diff 3x on me. I keep having to buy new nuts... I even have a new diff now and it still just happened again today.
No clue how to stop it from happening |

Yeah, loctite works well, especially in areas that have as much vibrations such as in the drivetrain and the exhaust...
