Anyone else out there ran into noise/thunking from the exhaust system? As I said before it's not hitting metal just seems to movement within the rubber hangers travel. I never thought this could produce this type of noise. These are "Walkers" brand hangers. Have to check with dealer to see if the original are still available, frustrating can't believe this would be so sensitive.

Ah yes Terry it be much better if I had pictures instead my words,that I loose my train thought no matter how many times I proof read, I still manage to confuse!!! Ah yes the flex-pipe the woven mesh that reminds of huge cylindrical mesh type ground strap! It ok! Oh I guess you didn't understand my prose the system is factory original except for the rubber hangers! Amazing after 14 years in Ohio winters, good ole Rust'Oleum zinc coating. Primer and a zinc rich top coating both act like a sacrificial anode or is that cathode? Does matter it's not the answer the salt eats it off before winter is over. Not sure if Por-15 makes a coating exhaust or not? See that's up to $100+ gallon now?
Yeah this weight hangs on single bolt bracket below the right side emergency brake cable bracket. In the center tunnel area with the exhaust pipe. As I said before I was thinking only ATX tranny cars used this NVH weight,
Drove car again this afternoon and the intensity of the thunk is reduced without the weight???? Had to believe the age,corrosion and metal fatigue could have changed enough BUT????? That's why I was curious what all the weight was designed to correct?
I know why you never understand me the right-off,I haven't the foggiest the east London dialect!EH? As you can tell I don't even know the proper terminology,I've term before by Hams in the area discussing AH my ole forgetter!

Ah yes the red hanger up front close the the cat, I did replace it, I thought that was silicone for the heat? My Y-pipe is bone stock factory and appears to be tight.
Terry the noise I can actually feel in drivers seat sometimes, that what has be puzzled one would think some sort of wear mark would be seen. Oh the cast iron weight what was that trying to cancel? Sorrrry for trying to stress the memory, I know how that is! If that was not in your area engineering I surely understand. Amazing how many different areas/engineering groups are involved. since I'm a detail type of tech what the engineer was trying to achieve has always peaked my interest!
Back in the early years of the CEG web site when there were Ford engineers and Vieston guys on the site that detailed stuff was out there until ole what his CEO at the time put a stop to that,at least thats how I remembered?
Thanks so much for taking to time Terry!

Just to add to the confusion, my back up Mystake the rear pass door window didn't work and turned out bad connection in the thru the door connector. While wiggling the outside part of the connector it would start to work AH HAH and went from there. Turned out the ground pin/connection was corroded. With out the ground it didn't know which way to go. IE while wiggling the connector and operating the switch on the door the window motor start to run both ways up or down. Old military training wiggle a-little bit! Also know came clear while wondering "CCWW" Oh no the telephony troubleshooting!
