Well written Al, lot's of good info. I'm a little concerned for your rear bracket. If you kick exhaust on your car, you will see it is soft mounted. Typically the tail pipe can move up to 1/4" or more. Hard mounting forces stress concentration at the attach point. I think you're comparing apples and oranges, Al W.
The tailpipe on a car is connected to the frame, which moves relative to the engine. Al G. has his firmly attached to the PSRU. If it moves relative to the engine, then I don't think he'll be worrying about his muffler much. Looks like the way he has it mounted, there would be some longitudinal flexing to allow for heat expansion of the pipe, but it would be very resistant to any vertical movement relative to the engine. A soft mount would be counterproductive in this case.
