Are there any brackets that came with the pipes ?
If so, can you describe the brackets to us ?

What are you hanging them on? Different cars and trucks use different methods. Tim

I know he has a '49 Ford car he wants to put them on.

I would call Speedway and perhaps they could see if
another box of pipes has the instructions and make a copy.
Also, ask to talk to one of their workers that could give
you some pointers, as to the best way to mount them.

What are you using the for? Some custom jobs used them for looks only so mounted them directly to the body/running boards/frame and hid the input under the frame. I attached them to the exhaust pipe and T-d off the input to go through the mufflers when the lakes pipe was closed. In this case treat it like an exhaust pipe and use appropriate exhaust hangers. Some states consider this a cutout and can write a citation for this. The worst part is when your buddies want to hear the open pipes after you have done a pub crawl. Not good practice.

When I bought mine from Speedway some time back you could also buy the stainless brackets to hang them on the car. On my '54 Merc I drilled some extra holes in the body brackets to mount them with the Speedway brackets. You could also use the rocker panels for mounting.
