I will drive it as-is this week.
Undo the connection over the weekend, and let the muffler hang free over the shackles.

Removed the two piece muffler hanger bracket and replaced with new one piece design bracket.
The exhaust tail is straight and center.
The ball-joint connector size and fitment is unchanged.
All new exhaust - manifold to tail-tip in past 10 months - minus CAT.
new bracket is one piece to fit new exhaust
new bracket is one piece to fit new exhaust
