Might even want to use a bit of Loctite when you tighten everything up again.

crap, it looks like one of the brackets came completely off. The nuts are an easy replacement, but I'm not sure about the other bracket. But wow, I'm amazed those came off. I had you tighten them until they were "snug" and I figured a guy as big as you would do that easily. We'll see if we can order one of those brackets and then we'll get the right size nuts at OSH.

The duct tape by the exhaust is probably going to melt. Just a heads up.
