The hangers are just a simple rod that comes up towards the center of the car then a rubber piece joins that rod and one bolted to the frame.

It should be the easiest part of the H pipe swap. Just push those suckers off.

All you need to do is weld a rod onto the H pipe if it doesnt have one now, bolt it two the header flanges, bolt it to the mufflers, and connect the rod inbetween the rubber piece that holds the pipes.

If the darn things are too tight, and you don't plan to use the stock h-pipe again, use a sawzaw and cut the suckers off. After the rest of the h-pipe is off the hangers will slide right out!
