Is this the hanger you mean?

No problem with the bolts but had to bend the hanger so as to not touch the frame.

The mechanic fitting my exhaust simply replaced those spring things with standard bolts. No problems.

I coulnt get the housing that goes around the bolt to fit in the other side. I guess if you just used a regular nut instead of the spring loaded ones.. it would work.

I removed mine after about 4/5 weeks of driving. It did take the use of 2 pliers and a lot of force twisting and pulling before they came out. I guess a little WD40 or similar would help a bit also.

Got the Hymee sCANalyser so as to find out why I have the CEL since we fitted the TurboXS exhaust system.
It gave me code P0030 (front H02S heater control circuit problem) and code P0031 (front H02S heater control circuit low). I dont think that this problem had anything to do with the new exhaust system as I have put back the stock header and stock CAT pipe and still have the CEL.
At this point I think that I need a new 'Front 02 Sensor'? which I priced from my local Mazda dealer and he wants just over us$666 (€500) for the part?
Anybody know of an online retailer for the front 02 sensor and ships internationally?

[QUOTE=swoope]i think the codes are for a water sensor...
The codes are definitely for the front 02 (H02S) sensor which is a 4 wire type. The heater is used to maintain a high (above 300'c) temprature and appears to have malfunctioned.
I will try and contact those dealers as you suggested, thanks.

PM me your part number and I'll see if it matches the US spec, seems like I saw them for under $200USD here
