Question How / where do I hang my TD's?

I'm going to be installing TD in a couple of weeks, and I'm trying to get everything lined up ahead of time. Where do I hang them from, what are the best hangers to use to minimize vibrations, and where do I buy the hangers? I don't have any welding equipment, so that's out of the question at least until I can get it to a muffler shop to have them tack something if needed.
Does anyone have pics of where you mounted yours? Thanks for the help.
-Marc

Can you just run them without them being secured? I'm worried about them dragging.

Well seeing as your engine is going to be the only thing holding all that piping up, I wouldn't recommend it. It's going to move around and bang/rattle like hell.

The TSP system, as stated before, comes with hangers that most people secure with 2 bolts towards the rear of the car, near the back seat area. Best tip would be to make sure you try and get everything mounted as close to the body of the car as possible (making sure your not hitting anything of course) People have used jacks, jack stands, and various other ways to hold the TD system up while you secure the mufflers. Dirty John has a great install write-up on the TSP system. As of today, I think it's on page 3 or 4 in this forum. Hope this helps some. Once you get under the car and check everything out you'll have a better idea of what you need to do/where everything goes.

Put some rubber bushings(like cut pieces of tire, etc.) on either side of the floorboard - where you bolt it up, and that will help keep vibration/rattles down.

An easier way would be to use some rubber hose and cut off whatever size you want it to be, I used 3/8's.

Thanks for the responses. I don't have TSP TD's. These have a hanger on them at the end of the Flo Pro muffs. It looks like an upside down "L" shaped rod. What are they supposed to be hung with? I can't take pics, because I left my camera at a buddy's house in Lafayette last weekend. I like the idea of the rubber on the inside and out of where they are secured to the floorboard. I saw DirtyJohn's write up, and will use it for reference when I install mine. I'm just curious if I should use the existing rods / "hangers" or cut them off and use something else.
