Default Solution to mount new muffler without welding?

Hey all. I recently bought some Dynomax Ultra Flo mufflers to replace the mufflers currently on my car. I got my mufflers off and I can't figure out how to find a bracket to mount my new mufflers to the car. I don't know how better to explain, sorry. This is my first auto project. Keep in mind I do not have access to welding equipment.

Edit: Forgot to mention that she's a 1975. Thanks for any help!

Here is an image of how the old muffler looks with it's current welded-on bracket.




Can't figure out how to repeat this mount without welding.

You didn't say what year it is. You can just check on the muffler
hangers for your year and most attach to the muffler plpe with
exhaust clamp.

That doesn't look OEM. You can get a hanger and muffler clamp from one of the Corvette vendors here.
