ABSTRACT:
A support and clamping assembly has two brackets. A first bracket is adapted to be mounted around the outlet of a catalytic converter. It is capable of replacing an original mounting flange, and includes two bracket members which can be secured behind a weld bead of the original flange. To support the catalytic converter, this first bracket is attached to support straps. A second bracket is mounted on the flared end of a muffler pipe, and studs or bolts connect the two brackets together to secure the muffler pipe to the converter. The second bracket comprises third and fourth bracket members, and the studs securing it to the first bracket also serve to hold these two bracket members together.
