Thanks for your thoughts and comments Scott.

Yah I know; don't reinvent the wheel.   < grin >

I just don't want to have to do this exhaust "design" and build job a 3rd time.

My engine is mounted at 15º, and I'm running a cat so the space
between the driver and passenger side "DV" brackets isn't as wide as a
50º diesel Vanagon engine. The arm I built off of the driver side
bracket, Image: http://tinyurl.com/9ythuq5   (uses a  5" muffler
clamp) was an add on redesign done shortly before the down pipes
finally cracked. I might keep this cat support design but don't really
like the idea of running one the driver side exhaust support to the
cat.

Neil.
