Message	make sure the new much heavier broom (catback) has all 8 hangars in place. Suddenly the lighter broom in front has all the support it needs. THE ONLY REASON FOR THE TRANNY SUPPORT MOUNTS ON THE STOCK CATS IS BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT ABOUT 40 LBS MORE THAN THE TYPICAL DP/TP COMBO. Hope that makes sense. Basically there is no need for the tranny support on aftermarket test pipes. We have never broken any welds on ANY of the cars we worked on and we never use the tranny support mount because its more of a hinderance for future work and totally unnecessary.
