I don't even know where the stock hanger would go? I don't have the mount that they use. I read that it was developed for the 280z?

Give me a half hour and I will take a pic...all that is there for a hanger on my car is a captive nut point for a hanger to be attached to, just like the scan HS30-H posted above. The mount point on my car is passenger side only.

The stock centre mount (numbered 7 in my post above) attaches to captive nuts in the diff crossmember. One on OEM single pipe systems, two on OEM twin pipe systems.

I don't know where you read that the new system was "developed for the 280Z"? That might be something a bit lost in translation? Fujitsubo themselves have not mentioned anything about the 280Z in particular as far as I'm aware. I think the new system is designed to work on a wide range of production years, and - as I understand it - they have not welded mount tabs to the system itself because they wanted to allow more scope for custom mounting methods through the use of band clamps which can be positioned on a case-by-case, car-by-car basis.

I think that mount on the pipe is upside down...to me, the long portion should be at the pipe.

Install is going pretty smoothly. Guessing on mounts and directions of mounts. But I think I have it. I won’t tighten anything until the header is in. The header is at the ceramic coating shop. Hopefully finishing this weekend.

What? All exhaust uses some sort of rubber for movement. Also this far back shouldn't be too hot, I can normally touch mufflers with a bare hand without getting burnt.
