tsp true dual instalation question ok, everything is done, connected, and good, a little tough to fit them together, but after a little bit of a fight i got them on. 
now, here's my question.
i used the clamps to temperarily hold everything till i can get it welded. after a drive around the block i noticed it was hanging like 2 inches off the ground at the back. i noticed those tabs have holes in them but couldnt find a bolt to attach them too. is there anything i can do to hold it up before i get it welded?

What the hell! Are you driving around without the bullets attached to the car(hangers)? I wouldn't do that, if that's what your talking about, I'd leave the mufflers in the trunk until you can weld the hangers...or you could drill a hole and put a bolt/nut through it.
HAHAHA...
Thought that I was the only impatient person around here. Yea man, you should disconnect the bullets until you can get a shop and have them welded. You'll shot yourself if they snag something and get ripped off.

Verdad Gallardo That's all I can think of, those bullets are pretty heavy and the only thing holding that entire exhaust up is your headers...I wouldn't think thats good. I don't even have to ask if you like the sound 
BTW: I'd get some good band clamps to replace those U-bolts, say you go over some railroad tracks or hit anything not rounded off. If you scrape a band clamp it'll scratch the exhaust...but if you scrape a U-bolt, it might catch and the whole exhaust may rip off.
edit: don't worry about it, I didn't think the metal was "that" thin and burned through when welding them on. Carpet caught on FIRE! (well, it kinda smoldered
) Just watch under your rear seats when they are welding please.

When I was contemplating about buying this system (Actually, I still am), I knew I would rather drill a hole through the floorboard to hold up the back of the exhaust instead of welding it. This way I can always take it off whenever I wanted. Just my .02.
