A heartfelt thankyou goes out to Bob, John, Dave, Deuce, Steve, & Bob for your assistance and pictures. I will try and go with two V-band stainless steel polished clamps and hopefully I can still be under the 6 ft. maximum distance for the ceramic oven. I will use the V-band on the front section from the headers to the muffler and have the rear welded because I'm positive that will be under 6 feet long.

Deuce I was trying to see from your picture what muffler/exhaust hangers you used, but could not see them. I am searching for a billet or polished type of hanger. I've had NO LUCK hunting for what I want on the web so far. I will know it when I see them...guess I'm anal about wanting everything to fit together like a doctor's latex glove.
