Installed the hangers today!
My hangers must have been bad. Here's an example - doesn't look too bad
But then you compare with these
Which look a lot more cushy.
The difference for me personally is pretty big. Every part of the drive is quieter. Startup, idle, highway cruise, WOT, even turning the ignition off. Didn't realize how much of the noise was due to the old hangers. The resonance at 2600-2900 rpm is completely gone. I actually heard wind for the first time in I don't know how long. In certain gears and at certain engine speeds, I can barely hear anything at all. Very very worthwhile mod, I'm extremely satisfied, but like I said, my hangers must have been quite loosey goosey
