Squeaky exhaust

[wildfire]

About a week ago, I had to replace the cat and flex pipe. The shop put a hanger on the pipe connecting the flex pipe and the cat. It's squeaking like a mofo. Any time I hit a bump or turn it sounds like nails on a chalk board. That's more annoying than anything but what worries me is that when the engine is underload, i.e. WOT getting on the freeway, it sounds like the hanger is about to punch through the floor.

A little grease should fix the squeak, but the hanger pounding the floor worries me. Any suggestions?

i know on the older rolla, there is a ring that looks like a rubber band supporting the exhause.

could that be getting old and giving way.

I don't think so. It looks like they replaced the downpipe(?)the flex pipe, the catylitic converter and the pipe connecting the flex pipe to the cat.

It's raining right now so if the rain quits before it gets dark, i'll throw the car up on the jack and try to get a picture so you can see what was done. Maybe I'll find something while I'm under there too...

remove the hanger.
