I've got a e30 M3 scorpion back box but no hangers for it. Does anyone know where I'll get some to fit a facelift car?
I can buy hangers for a 320 but I've no idea if the circumference of the boxes are the same?
Exhaust hangers for a Scorpion back box?

No luck there, they make them up for their own system but wouldnt have something of the shelf. I'm probably as well of buying a pair of e30 hangers and cutting them to suit, anyone know where to get stainless hangers?

BMW hangers are useless, you will dent the box. Ive fitted Scorpion supplied hangers in the past, some have fitted perfectly, some have needed to be cut and re-welded.
In the future I will make my own with some strips of stainless steel as the Scorpion hangers are something stupid like £36 each
You can see by the pics they are quite simple

It doesnt work, the scorpion boxes are wider than the originals, and because the original hangers have corners they dent the sides of the boxwullie325i wrote:knock out the bolts from e30 hangers and use longer ones, i have done it a few times with no problems

So I should get my old bmw ones (if I can find them) chop the straps of and make new ones?
I don't think mine is that wide, it's oval but not far of round.

Oh yeah, its not so bad if they fit and work, but having to cut the hangers off and re-weld them into the correct position after spending over £60m is a bit disappointing
