As you power through the mud, explore sand dunes or tear up the trails, you have to depend on your exhaust hanger. Without it, your muffler could suffer serious damage at the hands of the elements. If you've ever had to replace an exhaust system, then you know that it's no laughing matter. Outfitting your Jeep with a brand new exhaust can be costly. Here's what happens when you don't have a good exhaust hanger.

A Broken Hanger Slows Your Engine Down
First, your engine isn't going to be doing its best. A jeeper having to suffer with a low performing engine can ruin any outing. If the exhaust hanger is broken or if it falls, it can place stress on the vehicle's exhaust pipes. This is going to lead to breaking and cracking. We all know what happens next: an exhaust leak. When you have an exhaust leak, you aren't just dealing with a lot of noise. You're also dealing with a depression of power, acceleration and fuel efficiency.

Make Sure Your Hanger Isn't Damaged
One way that you can tell if it's time to replace your exhaust hanger is if you can tell that it hang lower than normal. If the hanger breaks, then you're going to notice that your exhaust can be seen under the vehicle. Additionally, when you're off-roading, you'll run an even higher risk of brush, rocks, and other terrain knocking against your exhaust. The point of the hanger is to keep the exhaust as close to the body as possible.
