What setup do you have? Single or duals? I'm assuming it's a dual since you say mufflers plural.

Most of the pre-fab, put it together setups seem to position the muffles under the back seat. Someone else in this post said use the rear seat belt bolts. Lots have done that.

My mufflers came with hangers that wouldn't reach there so I pulled my seats up and drilled holes through the floor pan and bolted them back down. Push the carpet and seats back down and it's golden.

Most of the local auto parts store type places sell hangers if you are looking to do it yourself. If you're handy with a welder then it's easy. If not you may be able to fab something with looping/hooking a hanger from a exhaust band clamp and then bolting the other end of the clamp wherever you can find it. Just a couple ideas I have after crawling around under my car a little.

You may already have an idea for this too but mine scrapped when I first installed them. I raised mine with a 2x4 and a floor jack until it touched the floor pan. Then I lowered it to where I can put a finger between a the exhaust and the car body anywhere along the path.

Just my $.02

I actually have a single, just made it plural assuming most guys running turndowns have duals. Good ideas tho, I'll look in to them.

I actually had a hangar on the seatbelt bolt, but the broke, and before it broke(Lasted about a week), it made the whole car vibrate pretty bad. Im gonna try to find one that has more give to it.
