You're probably right about cantilevering the whole works off of the exhaust
flange, but rather than change the drawings, I'll just send them off to you
and you can modify them as you like. Any gussets can be omitted in favor of
strapping or any other type of re-inforcement.
Expect them in a few days.

OK Brian. That strapping I sent in the last drawing could be attached to the
intake manifold as they remains cool and strong. The idea is allow the pipes
to expand and contract with out adding too much bending moment to them so
the strap should pivot freely. The geometry is not perfect but it still
should prevent cracking. The more vertical the support for the muffler the 
better the geometry.
