Friend bought a new but never used TSP 3" catback w/cutout and offroad Y from a third party a while back. Seller stated he purchased new in 2022.
Finally getting around to install. Most everything seems to be a true bolt on except for the mounting tab coming off the I-pipe before entering muffler (rectangle with hole).
Not sure what the intent was for this tab/bracket? Doesn't seem to directly connect to the stock exhaust isolator in that area. Almost like there is an adapter or other bracket missing? TSP mounting hangar/tab
Searched and found only a few mentions of this in the "***NEW***Texas Speed F-Body cat-back" thread (long).
post #288, #293, #331. Wouldn't think we would need to cobble together something or have to take to an exhaust shop for a 'bolt on' exhaust system.
Suprised more have not questioned this? Are we missing the idea?
Emailed TSP for insight but was ghosted after not being able provide an order number.
If I missed another thread or post where this was solved, please advise.
I guess we should have thought to look up what the OEM hangers looked like. Stock system has been replaced a few times with aftermarket components and muffler shop cobble ups. OEM hangar is long gone.
This is what was there last:
Looks like we need one of these now to bolt up to the TSP tab:
