Here is a picture of the suppport rod.......
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/105167/img_3349.jpg"></center><p>tack welded to the DP and anchored to the driver's side of the underbody through the J-hook end of the rod. I didn't bother to jack-up the car. I just stuck the camera under the lowered car and hoped for the best. I was surprised how well it came out. It's nice to have a good camera (Canon EOS digital rebel XT).
I hope this explains the set-up.

Looks pretty good
Thanks for the great photo of the support bar. I'll mention that to my exhaust guy. It seems though that most of the stress is coming from the twisting of the engine rather than the weight of the rest of the system. Maybe it could be a combination of both.

i actually still have the original bolts in before 42DD supplied the replacements since
they would come loose. i was going to swap them out...but never had problems with them so far. i'm holding onto them just in case or the next time i have to get in there.
