Hi fellows finally getting around to finishing my 70 chall rag ( purchased 25 years ago) not a numbers matching car however I am building it my way 340 6 pak auto (B5 blue with a blue int and white top factory) I am planning to run a T/A exhaust I have all the parts and an idea but just not sure exactly where the tip hanger brackets locate on the car so if possible any advise or pictures would be appreciated ( my FSM)doesn't show anything on a T/A Exhaust ) Thanks in advance

Welcome from New Jersey.
Sounds like a nice car!
Have a Challenger convertible myself that I am finally working on ( was in storage since 1984)
There will be many people here at FEBO that are always willing to help. Looking forward to some pictures.

I purchased the car along with a number of parts in 1992, 318 auto rough but restorable ,started a `B` body in 2000 finished it in 2010, 2012 stripped the vert and sent it off to the body shop( sat there about a year and a half ...used as shop filler) brought it home winter of 2014 and started the reassembly process drivetrain ,electrical dash, top (almost done) and then comes the exhaust not realizing that the tip brackets need to be installed before the suspension (live + learn) have now r dropped the rear end and
just want to be sure on their exact location pictures are where I'm at hope to have it road worthy summer of 2018

There are brackets that mount to the inside of the rocker panels by the forward rear spring mounts that support the T/A side outlet exhaust. These pics are of the right side. Hope this helps...
