Hey guy with descendant exhaust, is there a point in getting the torque solution hangers?
whoever had stock on first and then got the after market hangers notice any difference?

YouTube search for torque solution hangars. There is a video of a Guy who did before and after demonstrations with the descendant exhaust. I have them on mine and my exhaust is rock solid. You can grab the tip with your hand and try to shake it and it hardly budges.

Haha I just saw this. There is no way I could justify creating a thread. I don't do nearly enough to my car to compete with the other threads. Soooo I just butt in on everyone else's :-D

Yea, I don't have the hangers, but I will be getting them. Descendant exhaust with stock hangers, the exhaust moves too much for my tastes. When I remote start my car, the whole tip shakes so I know when I'm hitting bumps and whatnot that tip is probably hitting the bumper which I don't like

They'll transmit a little more noise and vibration to the cabin, but I wonder how much.

I do admit that the exhaust definitely resonates in the cabin around 2-3k rpm under load. When not under load and cruising at highway speeds, it isn't bad at all. Doesn't seem much louder than stock.

I can't say exactly what the difference is between the stock vs Torque Solution hangers because I installed the Torque Solution ones at the same time as my exhaust. Never gave the stock hangers a chance.

The torque solution hangers do. The rock solid material these hangers are made of will transmit much more noise than the rubbery stock ones. Same concept as replacing the stock motor mounts with TS ones. Much more vibration. All the factory mounts on the car are built more for comfort than performance.

IMO it's not loud enough to be annoying at 80 it's not even an extremely loud exhaust compared to other exhaust systems out there ( unless your revving the ____ out of the car and wether or not you get the hangers the vibrations are going to be there unless you somehow put the stock springs back on the exhaust on the two bolts just infront of the resonator. Also your exhaust is going to be shaking like crazy at least that's MY experience. If you stop speeding the sound will go away lol o yea do you have an auto or mt?

That surprises me. I figured the Tsudo would be much louder, but I don't have issues with droning at highway speeds. Only when I'm getting up to speed.

my rear view mirror shakes under load!

just wait, when u lower the car it will become louder.

My whole car was dynamated and it reduced the cabin noise by roughly 10mph, once I lowered the car it was all undone haha, the lower u r the more road noise 

O ok that explains it I have a mt the drone was the reason why I didn't get the auto also with the mt I can control the exhaust noise I know that might sound crazy but it's true.

Hmmmm. I agree the auto can definitely drone when accelerating as it slowly slips through it's gear ratios, but at steady highway speeds it should all be virtually the same.
