I didn't realize that rubber could be mounted to the body instead of the muffler hanger as it is in the OEM set-up , so I climbed underneath and I now see it can be installed in a predrilled hole on the body.


I have a similar tool to below which should allow me to get the donut off going in between the exhaust ends.
Thanks for your help.
