Need help with factory exhaust
Hello all, I'm trying to get my car back to factory spec or as close as I can and have recently gotten a factory muffler and tips. The problem I'm having is that I can't really get anything to line up properly and there are some strange mounts on the left side tail pipe and on the end that connects to the inlet of th
e muffler that I don't know the place they are supposed to bolt to. Any pictures or help is really appreciated. I will include some of what I'm confused about

Re: Need help with factory exhaust
there are three factory hangers. one at the cat, one for the inlet pipe to muffler and one for the left exhaust tailpipe. Each is available at Rock Auto.\
that is not a factory mount on your inlet pipe to muffler.

Re: Need help with factory exhaust
As said, the mount that is bolted to the pass rear frame rail is a aftermarket cheapy and the one that is on the over the axle pipe is from a 4thgen and im thinking around 98-02.

Re: Need help with factory exhaust
Okay, do you think the 3rd gen factory style mounts will work with the piping I have or will I have to just buy another over axle pipe?
