Here are the pictures. I bought some metal strapping at the local hardware store and bent it up at the bottom so I could use a u bolt to attach it to the exhaust pipe. Hope this helps

I had a rattle coming from my pass side pipe hitting the bed (extreme duals gibson). I just moved the pipe down a bit and pushed the tips in further. Been rattle ferr for a year now, but now on a cold morning sounds like I have a heat sheild rattle for 5 sec. I will check my plate but pretty sure it is a heat sheild of some sort.

My exhaust was hanging too low away from the body and was still banging up and down hitting the body it was so loose. Thats why I made the bracket. I got it so it was just a 1/2 inch from the body and it stiffened up the whole back half of the system. Its like there should have been another bracket included in the kit. All has been fine for more than a year now and it was cheap to do.
