Exhaust Ground Straps
 
Hi, I looked undernearth the X and notice one of these ground straps is cut off. I think I have to buy a new connector and reclamp it on the strap.

What do these do exatcly? Thanks

I dont have a pic ( i can take one ) but as you look undernearth near your tail pipes you will see a strap that is mounted on the exhaust.

If it is u shaped then it's the mufflers rubber hanger. Mine snapped so I bought a new one. It's only two bolts that hold it up, u should have no problem.

It's not the muffler rubber hangers. I believed the ground straps only appear on the facelift models. When I had the Remus installed, I had to have the muffler shop removed both traps off the OEM mufflers and re-welded onto the Remus.

Here is a picture, I ended up buy a new connector and crimped it on.
Went for a drive and seem to be quieter and not that much frequency from the radio.

If I remember correctly they are either for ground or corrosion protection
