Default Question about true dual install

Where do the hangers mount to in the rear (above the dumps)? I know it's a rather simple question. But, it's really cold out and I'm too lazy to go crawl under the car to see if there's a pre-existing spot to bolt into....or do you need to drill some holes??? Thanks in advance guys.

drill holes. make sure u mount them high enough. to be sure, jack up the rear end b4 u drill the holes. my first try i had the duals end up like an inch above the ground cause i mounted with the rear unloaded and it looked right, but i forgot about the rear end goin up like 3 in.

What are you using to hang them?

It came from another car with hangers attached already. They have hangers already welded to the exhaust that look like a pushrod with a hook on the end. On the 'hook,' there's a rubber mount with a metal bracket that has a couple holes. Kinda like the TSP system...



So, drilling is required?? I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be...

Gotcha; my TD's have a similar hanger, and you're asking a question I had also. Mine only have the rods on them; they guy I bought them from didn't send the rubber hanger with them. Know where I can buy the other pieces to hang mine?
