    90-97 Tailpipe Hanger Question

    I know up to 89ish the tailpipe uses two bolts to attach to the hanger.

    I know my 90 wagon has a newer style rod on the tailpipe which goes into a rubber isolator and bracket. Are the sedans a similar setup?

    Clarifying with some generic google pics. Ignore surroundings and focus only on pipe to hanger attachment...

    Pre-1990 attachment technique:


    Possible 1990 to ? Technique:


    Is the second picture similar to 1990+ sedan on the rearmost tailpipe hanger?

    I am considering purchasing a left sedan tailpipe to modify into the long factory dual style for the wagon. The 1990 sedan pipe is more expensive by a few bucks and I will spend it if has the correct hanger I can salvage to use on the existing dual hanger.

      I do know there is something similar to the bottom picture on my '90 GM. However, the exhaust shop that did my duals didn't use it and just welded a universal bracket onto the frame.

        Here is a side by pic of the wagon vs. sedan. Same location, wagon uses two bolts where the sedan uses one bolt and a tang. Wagon is wider and heavy duty compared to the sedan. WagonMan

          Thanks to you both. Going to order the sedan tailpipe and see if I can modify it to look like a stock wagon version. Have the hanger already luckily.
