Yes, I had the same problem when I put in the duals on the 4000q. I didnt
have much room in the rear, and the tank (muffler) hung pretty low. I
raised it up and used the donut hangers as mountings and solid mounted it
to the body. (Just mounted it tight to it) WAS IT LOUD!!!! So I took it
down again, used a kevlar fabric wrap and wrapped it a few times and
remounted it. It was nice and quiet after that.
