Walker 35119 Exhaust System Hanger Insulator for Honda Accord

First Impressions & Build QualityUpon receiving the Walker 35119 hanger, the immediate impression is one of robust, no-nonsense construction. Typically, these hangers are made from sturdy steel, often with a durable black finish to resist corrosion. The design is straightforward: a metal bracket with appropriately sized holes or slots for mounting, and a rubber isolator (or sometimes just a robust metal loop) designed to absorb movement and vibration.The key to a good hanger lies in the quality of its materials and the precision of its bends and welds. The Walker 35119 usually exhibits strong, clean welds and consistent dimensions, ensuring it fits as intended without requiring excessive force or modification during installation. The rubber isolator, if present, feels dense and resilient, a crucial indicator of its ability to dampen vibrations effectively.Functionality & PerformanceThe primary function of an exhaust hanger is to hold the exhaust system firmly in place while allowing for the natural movement, expansion, and contraction that occurs as the vehicle drives and the exhaust heats up and cools down. The Walker 35119 performs this task admirably.Vibration Dampening: A critical aspect of its performance is the ability to isolate the exhaust system from the chassis. A worn or poor-quality hanger can transmit exhaust vibrations directly into the vehicle's cabin, leading to annoying rattles and drone. The Walker 35119, with its quality construction and often rubber isolator, effectively absorbs these vibrations, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable ride.Secure Mounting: It provides a strong, stable mounting point, preventing the exhaust pipes and muffler from sagging, hitting other undercarriage components, or even breaking loose. This is vital for safety and prolonging the life of the entire exhaust system.Corrosion Resistance: Given its location under the vehicle, exposure to road salt, water, and debris is constant. The finish (often black E-coat or similar) on the Walker 35119 is designed to provide a decent level of corrosion resistance, helping to extend its lifespan in harsh environments.In practice, after installation, the most noticeable improvement is often the elimination of exhaust rattles or a perceived tightening of the exhaust system. It restores the factory-intended stability and quietness.Installation & CompatibilityInstallation of exhaust hangers can vary depending on the vehicle and the specific hanger design, but the Walker 35119 is designed as a direct-fit replacement for many applications. This means it should align perfectly with existing mounting points. While some installations might require basic hand tools and patience, the straightforward design of the hanger itself typically doesn't complicate the process.Walker is a well-established brand in exhaust components, so their parts often have good vehicle-specific fitment, reducing guesswork and frustration during replacement.Areas for ImprovementWhile the Walker 35119 is a solid performer, a few minor considerations exist:Long-Term Rubber Degradation: Like all rubber components exposed to heat and the elements, the rubber isolator (if present) will eventually degrade over many years. This is unavoidable, but users should be aware that it's a wear item.Specific Vehicle Fitment: While generally good, always double-check the exact part number's compatibility with your specific vehicle's make, model, and year, as slight variations can occur even within the same product line.Basic Appearance: It's a functional part, so aesthetics aren't a concern. However, its simple black finish might not appeal to those seeking highly polished or aftermarket "performance" looks, although for a hanger, this is largely irrelevant.ConclusionThe Walker 35119 Exhaust System Hanger is an essential and effective component for maintaining the integrity and quiet operation of your vehicle's exhaust system. Its robust build quality, effective vibration dampening, and direct-fit design make it a reliable replacement part. While it's not a glamorous component, its proper function prevents annoying rattles and potentially costly damage to the exhaust. For anyone needing to replace a worn or broken exhaust hanger, the Walker 35119 is a dependable and highly recommended choice that quietly contributes to a better driving experience.

Workd great on my 1995 Miata on the hanger that's just behibd the cat.

Used these installing a new muffler on my 2001 S10. The application called for Walker 36221 which, for some reason, were twice the price. I saw these and decided to give them a try. The distance between the holes may have been a 1/4 inch smaller, but it didn't cause any problems. They worked just fine.

This item appears to be a very good product quality wise. Unfortunately,, the application that I purchased it for didn't work out and it's the only reason that I have not passed on a 5 Star rating for its intended use. The center to center hole dimensions did not work out in accordance with my game plan for it. My Bad !!! My guess is that if it were to be used for its intended purpose,, it would be more then satisfactory to everyone..

I used these to replace the ones that were no good on my 2001 Lincoln Town Car. I was under there replacing the fuel pump and noticed that the muffler hangers were rotten and falling apart. They went on nice & easy and work great. I hope they long last long as the last ones dead. This is a used car and it has over 120,000 miles on it and I hope I did not have to place the hangers or the fuel pump within another 100,000 miles. Thanks.

Affordable insulator for the muffler and exhaust system. Fits just fine on my 2000 civic D15B. Just be mindful when you open the package there is some kind of oil on it that will blacken your hands on contact. Manufactured in India. Hope it lasts. The old 17 year old original ones were little bit hard but still useable. New year new insulator I say.

The material was a bit stiffer than even the older oem ones i already had. Installing caused one hole to tear. The other went on ok

Didnt know if it would fit but i bought it because it was cheap and it matched perfectly. btw I have a ap2 exhaust on my ap1 and it works great. I'm sure it would work well ap1's with ap1 exhausts and ap2's with ap2 exhausts as well, or any honda for that matter as they all use the same hangers.
