New U
Here's the replacement hanger in position with the new U-clamp securing the pipe. It's a good idea to whack the pipe with your hand a few times before completely tightening the clamp to make sure the position is correct. If not, you'll hear the pipe contacting the frame and have to readjust the pipe to clear whatever it's hitting. Compare the position of the U-clamp in the first photo and the final photo. Notice the U-clamp is turned up toward the inner fender. This is done for two reasons: It prevents road debris (paper, plastic bags, etc.) from catching on the bottom of the U-clamp ends and is obscured when looking at the profile of the vehicle. Just an artistic touch, but it works well.
