What is needed to hang Borla?

I will be hanging my Borla in a few weeks. I bought it used, so I want to make sure I have everything I need before I start.

What will I need to hang it on a T/A (97')?

I have all the "U" bolt clamps I need (3)

I have the (1) Band Clamp for the I-Pipe

What types of hangers will I need? They were cut to remove from car.

It looks like there is two hangers right benind the tips, but also two more about 12" back from the tips, near the muffler.

Any Ideas/Pictures?

Thanks,

i put mine on 2 weeks ago. there are 2 simple hangars on the tips and then you use your 2 stock hangars about a foot or so back and thats it. pretty simple.

Hey, thanks for the info, that is pretty much what I figured. What type of hanger did you use right near the tips?

it came with the borla. if you line everything up u will see underneath that u use the screw that is on the rear bumper frame. all the hangar is, is a straight piece steel that has a hole on each end.

nope, the only problem that i had with it was when i clamped the piece to the stock y pipe and then to the i pipe, i had the clamps twisted twisted up too high and every time that i would go over a bump and the suspension would lift up they would dig into my drive shaft

. So when i hung it on Warbird27's car, i made sure to turn them the right way.
