5KCSTQ - Exhaust



Help again --

The exhaust seems to have come detached from it's rubber-thingies and is
knocking around something fierce underneath.  It looks like it's hanging
pretty low -- but it doesn't 'feel' like it's gonna just fall off.

There is a distinct growl coming from right under the driver's side floor
-- and I can feel the system knocking around over bumps.  The clamps that
hold the rubber-thingies are pretty much rotted away -- and I think/hope
that this is what's' causing the rumble.

No holes, fumes, etc. -- not even enough rust to warrant this type of
sound.

I think it can be rigged -- thoughts?  If I do need a new exhaust -- should
I invest in something like a Scorpion?  Who makes the best exhaust -- and
what brand will give me more hp relatively inexpensively?

I'd much rather rig it if possible and wait till spring if I can (think
so), but if it has to go -- I want to be prepared NOT to but one from the
dealer --- and to never go to Midas.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!
