How to attach these side pipes?

[atomicholiday]

Hey I’m stalled on this project and I could use some advice. 
 

I need to attach these side pipes somehow.  There are no positive attachment points out of the box.  I had originally added the white blocks you see on the sides of the undercarriage , and had planned to glue the pipes to them.  But the more I look at it, the more janky I think it would look.

Any suggestions that would be secure, and look good?

Ignore the black on the pipes.  I haven’t chromed them yet, and won’t until I figure this out.  Also ignore the sticks.  But please don’t ignore the whole thread.?

you could drill them and use bent pins or the bent area from a paperclip.

just a couple random thoughts ---

it may be easier to attach the brackets to the side pipes, then to the frame after paint and finish.  The generic universal parts store side pipes have brackets attached to the pipes with u-bolts under the shields.  The sidepipes for more specific applications like Corvette's have tabs welded to the mufflers. The brackets have a tab that bolts to the frame with or without a rubber isolator.  This can all be simplified to suit. I like Stitchedup's ideas as well.

Here are some instructions from Patriot Exhaust. 28-06-22-h1050-h1060-h1070-h1080.pdf (shopify.com)

I put a set of pipes on with a stripped bread tie, coat hanger style.

This is the only set of side pipes I’ve installed. I drilled and pinned them.

Drill and pin works.

I made up a set of brackets for a '32 Ford application out of .010" aluminum with success. About 1/8" wide and longer than what was needed. I bent a 180 degree bend on one end using a 1/8" piece of aluminum rod as a mandrel. Then cut them to length. I used CA glue to put it together. I used 2 per side. I have to dig the finished car out, I am unable to locate it right now.

I’m gonna go with the drill and pin option.  Sounds like the best way to go about this one.  And it should look much better than my original idea.

Thanks much gentleman!  Appreciate the suggestions.

On my '32 they hung off the sides of the car. So I made "J" brackets. I'm doing a stock car with 3/16" tubing for exhaust, that will be pinned to the floor pan.
