You need to cut that puppy up and put a flex joint under the center of rotation of the engine in its mounts*. Otherwise the rocking of the engine will pitch the rest of the exhaust system up and down. The two hanger rods go into rubber mounts that are very tight and non-compliant. This will create unexpected loads and the results and vibrations thru the floor may be 'unpredictable' aka unpleasant.
* Probably somewhere just in front of the CAT.
Also need the bolting tab to fasten to the engine to keep bending moments off of the turbo and its exhaust flange joint. This tab is thin and springy to deflect with low forces in response to thermal expansion movement.
