Question Planning on a Borla Hush?

Planning to get a borla hush for my 02 sedan. I want to add the Kartboy hangers, but which would I need: Standard or XL? And how many?

TIA!

Not sure if you really need the hangers.

I had a Hush on my wagon and it rubbbed a bit towards the end....I added the stiffer Kartboy mounts (the hard rubber things whose name escapres me) They were just a bit longer than the stock rubbers, and harder. Kept the exhaust away fro mthe underbelly just enough to stop the rubbing.

You might try installing the Hush with the stock rubber hangers first to see if there is a problem when you drive the car. If there is enough clearance at the rear of the car and the Hush doesn't hit when it moves from side to side, you can probably use the standard length hangers. The extra long Kartboy hangers are either 3/4" or 7/8" longer, if I recall correctly, and will give you a lot more clearance. I use the standard length Kartboys with my Strömung 3" catback and it works out fine. I think you will need 4 hangers - one for the front of the catback and two for the rear near the muffler. I think there is one more at the mid-pipe but it's hard for me to remember. I ordered four hangers and don't recall having any left over.
