*EDIT*
Found my answer in post #111. I think you'll want to make sure the 'hangers' used allow for some fore/aft shift as SS likes to 'grow' when it gets hot. Certain sections will see higher heat vs others so allowing movement seems to keep things happy. Just my experience/s w/the material.

I did not think about that. I appreciate the info. I will look into using a more traditional/OEM style hanger. The biggest issue I am running into is the clearance. I have tucked the exhaust up tighter than factory, so space is limited.

You will be happy having the sound and fumes at the very back of the car!

I agree, Jeff. I intend to drive this as daily as possible and I did not want the exhaust pumping out right by the windows. Nothing like a good dose of Carbon Monoxide while you're cruising!
