    I agree, but I think you'd have to put more than one flex-coupling in the system. I think a non-rigid mounting does the job better.

    How about mounting using the hangers you've shown and align axially. This would allow movement from expansion. See 3D model below.

    No, Lazlo once the clamp aspect of the unit is tight the tube will not move inside of it. But there is a lot of movement (not sure of 3/8") in the unit.

    Troy, that's a good way to deal with it. I plan to just hang them like my rubber ones and allow them to slide. if a guy placed the rod ends facing each other with a good overlap, they could never come off.

    What we're discussing is the ridid mount ones and how to make them work. I'm trying to deal with what I think is too much side-to-side movement at the bumper hanger using my rubber mounts. I plan to use the Deeds hangers and put them on a rod so the pipe can expand and contract. I know there are rubber hangers with 3 holes, but I have read that these eventually start sagging and I don't want that.

    Duh Troy, why didn't I think of that?

    Here's how I decided to address the exhaust pipe expansion. After getting them and looking at them, I feel that the Deed's Engineering hangers provide little or no compliance in the system when clamped to the pipes. The bracket and rod are stainless.
