I don't have any good pics, but they are hung like this. The front of the muffler, the last piece in the exhaust stream, has a single hanger in the center, slightly in front of it that is rubber, or fabric reinforced rubber that is round with a piece across it. I forget if it is on the body or the muffler, but one side of that has a little plastic piece that has a slot for location that is to reduce strain against a relatively sharp edge. The rear of the muffler has two round exhaust hangers, kind of like large very thick rubber bands, one on either side. Up towards the front, there is a clamp that is bolted to the back of the transmission, but that is a metal clamp/bracket, not a rubber hanger.
