The Borla XR-1 catback, aka straight pipes, use a bracket that attach to the bolts of the rear swaybar brackets. The Borla brackets attach to tabs that are welded onto the pipes.

You can also take a piece of metal and mount it crossways between the rear muffler mounts. It would be about 3 ft long and would have 6 in tabs that slide into the muffler mounts. Then weld the exhaust pipe hangers to that bracket. Once the pipes are clamped by the hangers you have mount is held in the front and rear the same way the mufflers were held. Since the exhaust system moves this set up would allow the bracket to slide around in the muffler mounts just like the mufflers do and the pipes would not break as easily.
