    i didn't raise the car. I don't kno where the bolts are.

    and its loose like...i push it and it swings and hits w/e it hits that makes the rattle sound. I guess its more of a bad hanger/mount. How much am i lookin at to get it fixed? Its so annoying,a nd i'm just tired of it.

    i kno but do i buy them based on what engine i have or what chassis? can i jerry rig any other kind of hanger or are there universal hangers? i went to autozone and the closest one i could find was for a 96'ish prelude i think. Will this work for my car? or should i order polyurethane hangers?

    it really doesnt make that big of a difference. just buy probably the smallest ones they have. itll probably be oval shaped. it doesnt matter what engine or chassis, its just a piece of rubber to hold up the exhaust. make sure to get a new muffler bearing too, itll help stop the rattle too

    yup, they might be tough to get off so u might have to lube them up a bit and get like a pry bar or something. if theyre on there and in one piece then they should be fine though, ones probably missing of ur hitting a heat shield or something then
