Hey Sean, if at all possible, I would have everything tacked up while it's on the car. Here's what I would do..... Where the cat was, there should be 2 8x1.25 nutserts on the frame rails. I used a length of 3/8" stainless rod welded to my presilencer, then the factory donuts and those factory hangers. I didn't like the idea of mounting the exhaust to the trans that far back, I wanted the exhaust to be able to move sperately from the trans there. So the first thing that I would do would be to add some support there.

After that, I would go to Verocious Motorsports and order up one of thier flex couplings and have that welded in place.

Then after everything is fitting the way it should, I would replace the V-band. Tack everything in place in the car then pull it all off for welding. Stainless likes to move when it's welded but I'm sure your welder knows that and will compensate with some fairly heavy tacks and alot of them.

At the end, you'll have a better supported exhaust, and one that will move more indepantly than the engine when she torques
