Funny, I just did this yesterday on my track car... I used the OEM bracket and bent it back. I used a piece of scrap Al to make a J and attached it to the two lower bolts that hold the engine to the rear cradle. I had to bend the OEM bracket to "straighten" the muffler up since I was concerned about the intake pipes touching the exhaust pipes.

Using (4) 5"dia. hose clamps and there is no movement at all. I'm happy. Including pictures. It was my first time welding, and even thought the welds are not too pretty, they will hold.

I bought the muffler (best price @ Amazon), (4) 90deg pipes and a u pipe to get the right angle needed for the connection from the headers up to the muffler intake (Summit racing). Total cost about $260 including, 02 bung, 2 hose clamps, gaskets and flanges. Had to buy a welder, but it was something that I always wanted to tackle... Borrowed a Sawzall for the cuts and a grinder for final shaping. I think it came up pretty good and it took about 5 hrs! Enjoy... Lou
