    What is the best way to support a muffler on the drivers side when running duals? No real support bracket on that side. Anything besides just drilling a hole through the floorpan.

    Yes you can hook a hanger to the top shock mounting bolt. It may require welding 2 strap hangers together. F1771 ipc number

    I've used the floor pan. It ends up under the seat and you can make a reinforcing plate to strengthen it.
