You sure the center bar isn't bent down?
Someone had cut off the center bar on mine.
I found another luckily and epoxied it in. Had to tweak the height to get it right,
I don't see a factory exhaust hanger on either side, which is weird.
Those straps on there now are clearly aftermarket add on.
Sadly muffler shops just ran a lag bolt through the body.
Same was done to my car.
Only thing I'll add is, I would recommend getting the title situation cleared before starting any work. Would be a shame to dump a bunch of money, and then find out you have issues getting it registered and tagged to drive.
