I went ahead and bought this set : http://www.frsport.com/Circuit-Sport...-_p_26744.html

Only 3 but like you said, might be able to work something out with just two,

Quick update-
As I suspected you will melt your shrouds with autozone hangers at the track. The exhaust just sways side to side too much hitting the shrouds.

Also the OEM hangers are 1.5" centerline to centerline and the autozone ones are 3".
How did those adjustable hangers work for you Paimon?

Hangers worked amazing. You only need 3, exhaust is on rock solid, doesn't move the slightest. Had an autocross event shortly after installed (may 20th) and had no melted shrouds or discoloring or anything. Been using them since then and still working as expected.

mike curious on how your exhaust is holding up. I am not sure if you have a similar problem as me but the intermediate pipe is hangling low enough that major dips in the road cause me to scrape a bit. Interestingly enough, the scraping is happening at the exhaust hanger on the intermediate pipe (you will notice that hanger actually wraps around the intermediate pipe).

Moby I noticed in your sig that you have the Turbo XS CBE installed on your 2010 R3. I have this exhaust on order - were there any fitment issues? Any melting? I'm having the high-flow cat midpipe installed as well. They offered the free race pipe when I ordered it but I opted for the catted version.

How do you like the sound with just the CBE?

Yeah I've scraped that hanger enough times to grind it down flat...
Other then that it's holding up ok. Still sounds nice with stock cat. I just wish it was actually designed for our cars.

I looked up the turbo xs exhaust today and I really like it. Mike and paimon can you guys post pics of how it looks when fitted with the dropped hangers?

Thank you

EDIT sorry I found mikes on the earlier page!

Lol oh yea? mine is almost there, I am just crossing my fingers that it eventually doesn't punch through the intermediate pipe itself lol

It's a great exhaust with great sound. Totally recommend it but you do have to bend down the tips or burn up your bumper shields and reflectors. Take it from someone who is spending 200$ on new ones. Also don't forget to tune afterwards or you'll have a nasty popping sound every now and then.
