I am looking at having another batch of each laser cut. Any interest from the community for a group buy? Attached Image

I tested your GT muffler bracket and it does not work with a stock 2.0 banana muffler.
Dimension are a little off. Your C-C distance on the holes is 2mm too narrow. Part of the problem is that the stock mufflers have a seam that hits your bracket while your muffler are round and seamless.
The curved parts need to be wider to be able to use stock 911 muffler clamps. I think a two or three piece design would be better. I have found variation on the distance from the trans to the muffler. One U shaped part bolts to the trans and two separate parts bolt to the muffler. slotted holes would allow adjustment. I also tried it with a Scart muffler and it did not quite work there fr the same reasons. It had new SSI's which have thicker flanges than old SSi's or stock HE's. We even had trouble installing e stock 2.0 muffler hanger.

If my explanation is not clear I can draw up my ideas. But the GT type bracket is much better to directly support the muffler to the tail cone.

If you do not have access to a 2.0 trans engine setup I can test fit it and provide feedback.
