i think that can damage the flex pipe.
Gonna have to fix mine sooner than i wanted, just turned the heater on in the garage.
drat.
Good point. I replaced the rear muffler awhile ago. I think current the hangers will hold on all around. Good luck with your project.

That looks good. Did you use gas or flux core welding?
