questions about hanging TTI exhaust, tailpipe hangers? - 11/30/14 03:16 AM

Some of you may recall that I installed a gear vender unit (bought from a member). You may also recall that I asked about your experience installing TTI exhaust? My old system wouldn't clear the GV and I decided to step up to 3" from TTI. My problem is: 1. There are no holes to mount the tailpipe mounts to in the frame. The instructions say "there should be an existing hole, if not drill one". Do to the length of the bolts provided, it is obvious that you don't drill through both sides of the frame, so where do you "drill baby drill?" Problem 2. My Coronet was a lowly 273 2bl SINGLE EXHAUST when it left the factory. I now know that I should have ordered a "muffler hanger bracket" left side only. None of you happen to have one laying around that you would be willing to sell do you?
Thanks in advance for the help/info

my frame rails have a "slot" for a speedy nut. the tti stuff on my cars, 65 and 69 coronet, were a perfect fit.

I have an accurate exhaust left hager bracket made of stainless with hardware I would sell you. Plus I have an original bracket that needs to be blasted I would sell you.

Thanks for the responses. I worked for a day and a half, just to find that I was invoiced for a headpipe to clear the GV unit, only to find that the "h" pipe is right on the GV sump! My arms, to the tips of my fingers look like I took a close range blast from a 20 ga. with birdshot! So, remember the old days? I have hung more than one muffler on baler wire! I test drove the car and the unit is GREAT! At flat and level cruise @ 70 mph the tack is at 2,200 rpm vs. 2,800. Just right as the engine hits a "sweet" spot @2,500 rpm. (timing Is full in @ 2,500). I can finally can take long distance cruises, maybe to the Goodguys in Nashville next year, etc. Pics inclosed. First, I mounted the switch and "controller" on the small trim piece just under the steering column. Drilled a hole in the center to run the wires through.

Then routed the wires to the solenoid, and speedometer under the car, wrapped and away from the exhaust.
