    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.

    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.

    We are going to miss you James! It's going to eat at you when you realize we are out there without you.

    I will miss it...but I am ready to spend some money in other places for a while. I plan to get my little convertible Triumph TR7 painted and on the road in the next few months. That is if it will friggin warm up some.

    They are in the exhaust section in white and blue boxes on the top rack
