How many points does the exhaust attach to the frame on an FJ40? Searched the forums and couldn’t find anything concrete.
Replacing the manifold gasket on my 77 40 because of a significant vacuum leak and when separating the manifold/exhaust I noticed that my exhaust had only one attachment to the frame behind the back left tire. (Appears to not be oem exhaust, muffler is under driver side rather than rear tailgate)
My question is should there be a second attachment to the frame closer to the manifold to reduce the strain on the manifold/block thus reducing the risk of vacuum leaks? Pictures of proper setup would be greatly appreciated
