If you look carefully at this "before" photo you can see a round plastic plug just to the left of the catalytic converter and a couple more on the frame type reinforcements (look where the fuel line snakes around).

This photo shows what I used to attach it. NO new holes were drilled into the sheetmetal.http://ecomodder.com/forum/member-co...-img-0142.html
