Does anyone have a problem with one of the h-pipe hanger interfering with the speedometer cable connector going into a T-5 tranny? It seems that the hanger ends just where the plug is and bends the cable almost to 90 degrees. I did cut the rubber groumet that the hanger goes into a bit and that relieved it somewhat but thats about it. Should I worry about this bend or is it okay the way it is? [Confused]

So, what did you do? Does your speedo still work?

Why do you need hangers on your h-pipe. My x-pipe is hanging by the rear mufflers and the headers. It reduces inside car vibrations as well. Just cut the h-pipe hangers off.
