Exhaust hanger for turbo cars

[Quiny]

almost forgot, drill the holes for the trany mount end before you bend. I made the inner piece first(L shape) tried it and wanted more support so then I made the gusset (less angled piece).

Hey guys, builder from another group, but saw this as I am researching my own custom hangers for my 33 as I am not using the FF supplied exhaust. These seem to be very effective mounts, and remember that you need to have some give in the exhaust to account for engine torque and movement. I couldn't tell from the pics if you have any sort of flex pipe in the mix to help. If not, a rigid mount like this could cause cracking anywhere in the system, especially on cast parts like manifolds.

In the pictures above, the exhaust support bracket is attached to the transaxle (not the frame or body). This is obviously rigidly mounted to the motor, so no flex joint should be required, as it all (motor/trans/exhaust) moves together. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my plan as well.
