I would like to see some examples I know this a humble part but I am mounting mine I will have to route it perrty close to the floor boards on this 32 and through the X member examples would be great Thanks Terry
Well here is a poor pic of my hangers that I did, there are 4 mounts in this picture if you can see them. This is 2" pipe through a 3" space in the upper and lower rails. Still in the build stage so do not know how this will r work really. But the exahust is very rigid and will not move. Basically it is a 1/4' rod bent to the reguired height and welded to the exhaust pipe with a piece of 1/4 " Id fuel hose sliped over the rod as a cushion. Would have like to use stem hose if I could have got some. The piece on the frame is a a piece of 1/2'" ID black iron pipe . One end is notched to make a sadle for the rod to lay in and secured with a mini hose clamp. I can get take better pictures if you need them.
I just had the exhaust done on the 28 chevy. Here are a few pics of the hangers and exhaust. I had him bolt all the hangers to the frame instead of welding them, so if I needed to I could just drop it all out from under the car. the welding was done only on the pipes themselves. The hanger parts that are welded to the pipes are a 3/8th inch rod bent to fit.
those J-hook hangers with the bracket and rubber block are called "Southern *******s" by most exhaust shops. Rol/Marwil sells them as part #FW913L you can search the FW913L on ebay for a photo Flo Pro has them as an RD1, and the short end of the J is at a 45' angle, rather than a 90' angle, so they can be taken apart and turned around, if you want to have some symmetry from side to side. they are by far the most popular hanger in the exhaust shop world.

Those hangers are pretty common in the muffler shops in my area also. They work GREAT and are inexpensive !!
If you use the J hook type, be sure to heat the rod and bend it under the tubing to form a saddle for the tubing to lay in. For a while we would just make a nice heavy tack on the side of the tubing. We got a few comebacks where the tack weld actually broke a hole in the side of the tubing. The tack held just fine but the motion of the tubing broke the tubing. After we made them into a saddle supporting more of the tubing, the problem disappeared.
We got this box of 50 for three dollars at the auto parts store sell-out This is what we used in the 1960s
I welded brackets to the frame and then made some hangers using high-temp grommets and some extra flanges I had. This hanger bolts to the other exhaust flanges. I did this at the front and back of each muffler (the long Cherry Bombs). There are turndowns at the back of each muffler. Good Luck! X
