The torque spec for that hanger is only 10 ft/lbs!! No wonder it snapped. I don't know why they wouldn't make it more robust. That seems very cheap of them.
That's why I try to look for all the torques in the shop manual before I start any job. If there is no torque spec, I try to judge on how hard it was to loosen it, what position it was in before I touched it, and try to match it as closely as possible.
Whoooooops, 🙈

The AWE service rep I spoke with was super helpful and ended up sending 3 exhaust clamps for free my way and is researching with engineering about the X-pipe. Will update my post as I made it in a place of not so sound mental state (frustrated an exhaust install took like 6 hours)

My son is on leave from the 82nd and we detailed our gun metal mafia cars.

I had to let one of the Rosies go since I don't have space (longest same car owned , 9 years ND1/ND2). I will miss her more than any past GFs LOL!

5amp5on, that looks like Texas?

In the recent past you could pull up category rankings for tires @ Tire Rack. Now, they show you scores for the individual tire and the % within the category, but I don't see a link to pull up the full category chart. The PS4S is 99% in category, so something, fairly recently I believe, has knocked the PS4S from the top spot in Max Performance Summer.

Edit: Poked around and #1 appears to be the Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02

I replaced mine with 02 and its night and day love them!

I'm starting with these since readily available local pick up, nice adjustability, but may move up to the 35mm Hotchkiss if not enough stiffness for events.

That’s my location too!
I saw a grey Nismo yesterday, first I’ve seen in the wild in Oklahoma, could not get a pic. I was in my daughters Sentra at the time :(
