I have a bolt thru the floorboard and a piece of steel strapping bolted to that. The strapping is welded to the muffler. Rock solid.

Wrap the strap or rod around and under the exhaust. That way the tube is cradled and the tube will not rip.
I used that exact piece on Randy's car. Bolted through the floor or a bracket on the "strap" end and the "j" end is made to hold a muffler clamp, http://www.delcity.net/store/Saddle-Clamps/p_798733 , to go around your pipe or turndown. Worked perfectly. You could also weld the strap end to the floorboard. All parts are available at O'Reiley's, Autozone, etc.

Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.
Jason at Illicit was trying to tell me about that but I did not understand what he meant. So the reason mine fell off and made a hole in both mufflers is because they were welded to the top. Now I understand. I think the one I posted the link to like Rob said would be easier to work with. When I ask Vatozone and O'Reiley's if they had a universal exhaust clamp they both said "no".

My exhaust is hung the same way. I have had to replace it before after the rubber straps wore through.
I showed them a pic on my phone and they had them.
