Its hard to get a picture when its all installed, very cramped. I did my best. This pic shows what I did whith the tailpipe hanger I got with the kit. I drilled out the rivet holdind the the piece to the rubber hanger, then I drilled a hole to put a bolt through and then I bent the piece of metal into an L shape to act as a hanger all by itself. Then I bolted this piece to the original thick tailpipe hanger that bolts to the frame that has 2 sliders in it to adjust height and side to side. There is no rubber to pad anything now but it turned out very nice and is very straight. Im just hoping it holds up with the vibration.
