Default Exhaust help

Im in the process of installing a TKO600 in my car and there is no way the bracket on my midpipe is going to line up to the holes on the transmission brace anymore. I was wondering if any of you had the same problem and how you solved it. I have the crossmember bolted to the transmission now and was most like just going to cut the bracketoff the midpipebolt it up then take it to a muffler shop to have hangers welded on. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Also to all the guys who think they cant afford a TKO just keep your eye out for good deals. I saw the one i gotgo up on ebay and within 20 min of the auction starting I asked the seller how much he was looking to get for it and he told me $900 still new in the box. I couldnt believe it. I then looked around and the next day i found a local guy with a bellhousing for $100.

if it hangs lower at all, its less than half an inch. its main purpose is to keep the exhaust twisting with the drivetrain, instead of tweaking in the middle and loosening the bolts.
