    I bought a universal split side exhaust kit from summit andmit came with two different style hangers but I'm not sure witch ones to use, there are these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-680111-2/overview/ and these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-610310/overview/. I used the one in the second link for the passenger side. The concern is engine flex don't want my headers to crack over time to everything being too stiff, the kit I purchased works great by the way, need to fab up my own side exits though.

    Use the first ones. You'll need fender washers to use with the mount bolts too. The second are too stiff and you'll get vibrations transmitted into the body, you won't like the sound that makes.
