Go to somewhere like repco , Autobarn or Supercheap and buy a universal exhaust mount. You need to get one to suit the diameter of your pipe so measure it first. Once you have your mount you just have to clamp it on your exhaust and find a spot to bolt the other end to.

The trick is to put multiples on, so when a couple burn through, it's still supported.

Yes . and you can also use exhaust hangers to tidy up your speaker cables lol.

I have heard of a guy using a whole box of band aids to get by for a month!

gosh using cable ties for your exhaust... amateur......real men use em for engine mounts

Mate if your going to use anything, then yes the tie wire will be your best bet, but wrap it around several times and use it in more than one place so that it's "backed up" if one breaks. Otherwise the exhaust shop welding a proper bracket in place would be more desirable.

"if it cant be fixed with duct tape and cable ties... its ****ed"

ahhhh yes! ghetto fixes, love it. ok so here we go. what you do:
get an old over mitt, electric blanket or any kind of fabric that resists heat
a coke can or two
a dozen cable ties.
beer


now, wrap the heat resistant fabric around the pipe, then cut up the coke cans and wrap the alloy around the fabric. a zip tie on either side of the alloy to hole it tight. two zip ties slid under the first zip ties in a loop, then two more up to the floor mount.

done forever.
