[Anonymous]

Hi there, i just got my new exhaust on, pics on the way!,
anyways the can is missing its strap, you know the big round one that goes over the can, i cant find one of these anywhere!

Anyone happen to have one they want to part with or know where i can find one? i looked on google, dennis kirk and all of ebay and cannot find one!,
Thanks!

If it were me, I'd make my own. Home depot sells flat stock metal, I'd buy a 24" long, 3/4" wide, 18 gauge raw steel strap, get creative with a hacksaw, drill and bench mounted vice, clean it with alchohol or other thinner, and paint with a catalized paint (eh, Earl? How 'bout that, huh!). It will last forever.

Alternatively you could buy at almost any auto parts store, even Wal-Mart a common muffler hanger strap which is basically a piece of 24 gauge or so galvanized strap with holes approx. every inch. This won't look very pro however...

I Cant seem to find these anywhere, maybe ill get a piece of aluminum stock, drill it and polish it. that might be my best bet.

I wouldn't use aluminum. It is too soft and will evetually break. I would find som Stainless Steel strap or a small sheet of Stainless sheet metal. Cut it to the length and width that you need and put a strip of thin gasket material beteewn the can and the strap to keep it from vibrating.
