hang it all
Steve,
I just had mine done... it's welded at the header outlet... one before the muffler (behind the cab) then there will be another behind the muffler holding the turnout...
After the turn leaving the header it's a straight shot (with a slight smush down at the trans cross member to gain some height) all the way back to the muffler...
hope it helps
John

Is this like the How many Chevy owners does it take to screw in a light bulb???? or How many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?? 
I don't know the answer if you're running a stock set up, but if you're running a modern engine and duals Mr. Niolon's answer is as good as any
It's really up to you, you want it to hang firmly without putting undo stress on the unions... a kind of "marital therapy"

My duals go out the back, so the rear cross member is very handy. The hangers are the wrap-around type and are tack welded in place. Just look for a convenient cross brace or trany support. The hangers start off long and you trim them to the desired length. Good luck, John
