"Uh... On further inspection, this picture makes no sense. It looks like the bracket is bolted to the clutch bellhousing, but it shows only a single pipe. My exhaust pipe is double almost to where it turns to head straight back under the truck."


The stock exhaust bracket is mounted to keep the engine torque from flexing the exhaust pipe.  Where the bracket is mounted, the stock pipe is only a single on my trucks.
