LTx exhaust pic request (not typical)
I'm in the process of starting to fab up an exhaust project on a '91 L98 Vette and need some close up pics of the hanger configuration on a LTx Vette. So if anyone has some pics or a 92-96 Vette in the air they can snap some close up pics of the hangers [where they mount to the car and exhaust (factory or aftermarket)] I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

I made the same exhaust change to my 86. I bought all the mounting brackets for the newer system. I got the parts through the dealer, but some of the parts are obsolete. He managed to find them through other sources. I have an extra transmission mount if you have an automatic.
sorry I don't have any pictures.

Thanks for the offer Painter man, but I was able to find all the brackets through work.
Still looking for pics though. I think the exhaust I bought has some bent tabs and if I see some pics I can verify this and figure out orientation of the hangers, I'm also trying to figure out how the two hangers that bolt in place on the same place as the camber brackets.

The two rear most (muffler) hangers should be the same, but you'll need to repalce the hanger that bolts to the trans (only one is listed should be the same for auto or manual) tail shaft and remove the on that bolts to the c-beam and add the two LTx style hangers that bolt to the diff housing/camber backet area (still looking for pics of these installed).
The dealer can still get the hangers they just have to purchase them from VIP now as opposed to directly from GM.

I'm doing a LTx exhaust on my L98 soon too. What are the part numbers for those rear brackets (the circled in red one a few posts up)? I need to make a custom bracket for the middle anyway since it's a T5 tranny now, but I should use the correct ones for the diff brackets.

Thanks Jeff I appreciate it.
