RE: Exhaust Pipe Mount
Do you mean that little piece of wire that supports it at the end of the pipe if so do what we all do just get a length of wire and make up a bunch or there are a couple of others that work with some modding, but I like to use cheap allen keys there tough and just measure it's length heat it and bend it around with some pliers and your done just use your imagination on that part if you see something that looks like it will work it probably will!

RE: Exhaust Pipe Mount
The coat hanger always felt to soft to me I have the HD plate and the RD pipe so any play lets the stinger rub in the hole in the plat so I try to use as stiff a metal as I can with it still having a small amount of spring action instead of taking the bend as it lands like soft steel.

RE: Exhaust Pipe Mount
This is what I have:
The spring helps to dampen the pipe's movements and keeps it in place. Another problem is breaking the stupid curved exhaust header piece. I've broken 2 so far and they are all initiated by broken mounts.
Haven't broken one after the new type of mount though.
I also bought the HD bottom skid plate but I doubt it helps much. Never seen the pipe rebound off it or anything.

Wow! That's a nice pipe mount!! Did you make it or is that the GMK one? I especially like the round aluminum piece that fits on the frame and gives you something to slide the sprung mounting wire into. Very nice!
