NO! Don't do this!!! The muffler should be anchored to the engine, not the
body. If the muffler is anchored to the body, stress on the pipe from the
engine moving may crack the exhaust pipe. Even with perfect motor mounts,
there is some "give" that allows the engine to move a bit.

Notice with the stock setup, nothing is attached to the body at all.

By anchoring the muffler to the engine, when the engine moves, the muffler
moves with it. On my 1985 Crew Cab, I have 2 *huge* hose clamps that wrap
around the muffler and one of the tailpipes. Holds it nice and snug against
the engine.
