RE: TTI Max Wedge exh system

We'll use the hangers we get with the TTi kit.

What I was trying to say was I'm not too sure (until it arrives) how the 
TTI hangers will attach to where our existing (home-made?) system 
attaches, as I dont know if ours uses non-standard mounting points or 
hardware. I'll have a look next time I'm under there and compare it with 
the diagram on the TTI site
