I've never seen a ground strap on the muffler before, so I'm guessing you probably could, lol. I can't figure out why there would be on there since the muffler and tailpipes are all hung into place with rubber insulators.

I know the H pipe connects to the headers, which should be grounded, lol.

Weird.

Yeah, you've lost me here too. Are you sure you're not talking about a support made out of plumbers tape or something?

Confused.

Take care,

LOL, nevermind, it is something to do with the hangers at the end, it came losse and drug for a while, i guess the vibration in the rear was caused from removing that weight on the bottom of the differetial.

maybe thats why my d/s bolts do too.
