I had the same problem when I bought my HKS exhaust. Luckily the guy who I bought my exhaust from had the the HKS brackets. There are 2 brackets that come with the exhaust. The first and most important is the on that bolts above the muffler can. This bracket uses you stock 3 hole rubber hanger and does most of the alignment. The second bolts directly behind the rear diff and the actually hanger resembles a "U" shape. This bracket uses the standard 2 hole rubber hanger. I actually just got the second bracket earlier this week. My exhaust was fine using only the one large bracket above the muffler. Its way stiffer now that all the mounts are in place. Def recommend getting ahold of whoever sold you the exhaust and asking about the brackets. Most aftermarket exhausts use the stock mounting locations and rubber hangers. I am sure they will still have the brackets unless they threw them away or modified them to work on their car. I will take a couple of pics to help ya out.

The HKS exhaust come with HKS specific hangers.. 2 to be precise.. one huge plate that goes above the muffler.. then on sm,aller one that goes on ur rear cross member..

If u didnt get those.. then good luck installing.. cause it wont work without em..

Contact the seller im sure he might have just been an idiot and not realized that it was like that and didnt take em off..
