What Exhaust do you run?

[wiz1500]

I have a question. Is your suspension stock? Also, did this happen with their newer hangers or older? I know they had some issues in the past but redesigned the hangers, etc to fix whatever issues came up. Also, I ask about the suspension because if it has been modified from stock for longer travel off road then it would mean that any brand of catback exiting out behind the rear tire would have the same problem?

This was with the new rear hanger .. The old hanger broke once and they replaced it that was with stock rear springs...At that point I didn't realize there was an interference issue. It was chalked up to a bad weld (wrong). The second old bracket became cracked and I had not even realized it till another member told me he was having problems and asked me if I new anything about it...He was actually the one who got SW to redesign the rear bracket. But this still is not the whole problem....
The problem is when the truck is drooped out and you are sideways the rear end will move side to side under the truck and hit the pipe. A hit or 2 is not really a big deal but when it continuis to hit because you are using your truck "correctly LOL" it will start to fatigue things and thats why they fail..This is more of a long term hard use problem.
The pipes are just designed to run to close to the spring pack..
If you jack your truck up and let the rearend droop out it looks like there is room. But if you start thinking about the rearend moving side to side you will see what I mean..

I have Stainless Works out the back of the truck. First issue was a broken hanger clamp, lower part which resulted in a broken muffler. Was able to get them to warranty it after a few weeks, with the parts off of the truck, so could not use the truck. The comment I received was truck was driven off road or in the dunes. This weekend, in the dunes, the top part of their POS clamp broke where it had a very narrow part that bolts to the spring hanger. The parts they supply are for street car type vehicles and not off road. Won't recommend or buy anything else from them. Not even going to call them on this last issue, but will post some pictures. May have broken another muffler, but have not crawled under truck yet to check. Just is not worth the aggravation dealing with them.

I bet if you look really close you will find witness marks on the pipe where the spring is hitting it.. That is whats braking the clamps/brackets .. I do agree with you they are smallish but its the hits the pipe is taking.....If you have these marks in your frame from the spring then you pipes is taking a hit also..

MBRP Catback Black. I really like the way it looks with my truck. It doesn't stay clean though so the blackness of it doesn't stay that way for long so I think if I had it to do over again I'd just do the Turn Down. However, I do love the deep throaty tone it has. I assume the Turn Down is comparable.

How old is the system you have? When you get a chance to get under there and take pics please forward them to me. I am very interested in finding the source of the issue whether it be weak clamps, pipe position as designed, etc. Whatever the cause, I am wondering if the other styles of SW have similar issues.

Stainless works long tube headers with Magnaflow race mufflers that dump downwards somewhere before the rear axle.
