Are these brackets factory
Any idea what these brackets on the rear frames rails beside the tailpipes are? Are they factory? I am just curious if they serve a purpose becuase they are a royal pain in the butt as they are in the way of the tailpipes. I just finished tracing down a noise to one of the pipes that has been vibrating on one of these brackets only around corners.

Here'a a pic of the factory exhaust system in my '89. It looks to be somewhat different then what you have pictured.

Looks like there was some kind of home-made receiver hitch on it at one point..
