Jim,
Are you using mild steel tubing and having it ceramic coated afterward?If so,how
well does it stand up to vibration and thermal loads?

This is the best I can do to show the exhaust hanger. This pic shows a solid
steel link from the hanger. It has since been changed to a rubber belting
one. The tailpipes should be hung off the engine, not the engine mount.

John, Mild steel and coated after. It holds up good. If you don't ceramic coat
it, what works good is to coat with anti-seize. When you start the engine the
heat in the exhaust bakes the anti-seize and does a pretty good job preventing
rust. Put it on using a scotch brite pad, two or three times a year will make
it think it is S.S. The stuff I have used was Permatex brand I believe, silver
in color. Jim C

That's an interesting idea,I've been using stainless 409 tubing,but the thinnest
I can find locally is .055"wall thickness.It bends nicely,but it's a little
heavy.304 is available a little thinner,but my bender will kink it.Aluminized
tubing bends very well,but,unless the coating is removed before welding,a lumpy
contaminated weld will result,unless MIG is used.This seems to burn the aluminum
coating away and leaves a good uniform weld.
Are you using mandrel bent elbows fitted together,or a pipe bender?

I have been using a sprint car header kit from Speedway Motors, cutting to fit.
Previously I used elbows from JC Whitney but they changed to a heavy wall elbow.
The Speedway tubing is lighter. The Whitney elbows are aluminized,
