Thanks RGray77. It appears that the isolators are all in the correct position. It's just that the one hanger is too short. I called one place today and they said they coldn't do it. But then called another and they told me to bring it in and they could see what they can do. Hopefullly they can fix it. Heck, if I had a welder I'd do it myself. Just cut off the old one and put a longer one on.

Hey man that's not ignorant! Asking questons like that is how we all learn. RGray711 got you on that one.

Good luck with the fix! They might even have a spare extra long rubber isolator laying around that would work with no welding required? Anything is possible.

Don't forget to record the new sound and post it for others to hear.

Has anyone purchased the GM Touring exhaust? I would like to hear your thoughts on it and see a picture of it.

Just really depends on what you are trying to achieve exhaust note wise. I attached a clip from when I was working with GM accessories trying to decide on my exhaust.

Thank you Airborne227. I think the Touring is the right one for me. I want a little growl at WOT. I do not want any drone as I like to drive down to North Carolina which is a 12 hour drive.

Those isolators can be a pain in the rear, might be worth checking on a price of a new one and getting a extra one on hand, if they are cheap enough.. like 10.00 then maybe just cut the old one off, and use the new one! I run them under hot water for about 10 minutes then coat the inside with dish soap works like a charm!

They fixed it. Just welded on an extension. $20 so not too bad. White Wolf, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised w/the Performance Exhaust. Not loud at all. IMHO it's perfect. The guy at the shop today told me how much he loved how it sounded. Not very loud. Just a deeper mellow sound. Trust me, I don not like the sound of loud sounding trucks (no offense to those who like them).

Just keep an eye on Ebay and Craigslist...you'll come across them. On Ebay, look for a "Best Offer" auction and suggest a reasonable offer.
