Walker produced systems that had a strap system that bound around the silencer and pinched together with a nut and bolt and a pair of hooks at the appropriate orientation for the rubber hangers to attach, however this component I am sure would have increased the price over and above the Euro Car Parts price for the Klarious system.
Glad you got it sorted Nick.
Yes I did think that the hangers welded straight to the can looked a bit weak, I guess a strap type of clamp can be added to reinforce the mounting. I was more concerned that the welds and hangers were not coated in any way to protect them. I have had great results with VHT paint on exhausts in the past so it may just be the kiddy to lengthen the life a bit.
