Default New exhaust squeaks!

So I got my Motordyne E370 Shockwave exhaust installed yesterday and bloody hell does it sound amazing! But after a couple hours of cruising around it started squeaking and it's very obnoxious. My girlfriend said it sounds like I'm driving on old beater car

The squeaks happen at even the smallest bumps in the road, at low rpms, and when I turn. Oh god, when I turn it sounds pretty bad. Any ideas on what it might be?

Probably the rubber bushings at the hangers. Just need a little grease.

Either the hangars need a little lube or the clamps aren't tight. Chances are it's the hangars, brake slider grease would probably work really well.

I'm with the other guys - probably a hanger or clamp. Get under the car (when exhaust is cold) and shove on the pipes until you find the squeak. Lube or tighten as needed.
