True Dual 3" dumps before axle, which hangers?

Hey guys, i've been searching and it appears that the autozone universal exhaust hangers similar to these:



are the best to hang bullet mufflers which are dumped right before the axle, it seems the best location to mount them is using the seat belt bolts on each side. I CANNOT for the life of me find a good pic of this mounting both on the muffler and body side. I dont understand how the bottom piece of that hanger will mount to the muffler. Only thing I can think of is a 90' piece of steel being welded on the muffler and put on that hanger notch. Is that correct? Pics please guys.....

I wouldn't suggest it. The TA moves with the suspension so your exhaust will be moving up and down all the time and you don't want that. I have the hangers mentioned above welded to the body of the car and my suspension moves around everything just fine with no rattles or clunks with the exception of a little drone between ~1500-2000 rpms

I agree to not mount it to the torque arm. I used hangers like pictured above and bolted them to the floorpan. Exhaust hangs well and clears everything.

I have true duals, I had to take off the mufflers though, but for hte pipes (for temp use), I just used an exhaust clamp, and welded that to the underside on the body. I've scraped hardcore a couple times and it's still attached, so it's all good.

God damn flanges.
