I purchashed the kit from the same year monte that was being gutted. Unfortuatly i did not take the time to look at the placement of the hangers. Can u help? Its straight pipes
I wish i knew. But i will lay my setup out in the garage tomorrow and also take pics. I do know its all 2.5 inch pipe all the way back. Thanks a million kwik.
The hangers on mine were just aft of the mufflers, in front of the rearend, look like rubber strap, bolted to a brace that runs across the frame in that area. Mine turn down behind the tire, sort of like a Chevelle, there is another mount there to the frame. Pretty generic muffler shop set up.
It will require raising the car WAY up to clear the bends that go over the rearend, may be easier if you undo the shocks.

The tailpipes look backwards (and switched left/right) to me. The mufflers will be under the rear footwells, so the short ends in the foreground of the last photo should bolt to the mufflers. I am not sure but I think you should try swapping the intermediate pipes (with the cats) left/right. And maybe flip them over. The pipe with the two small bends looks like it was made to fit under the driver's side of the transmission crossmember. The floor on the passenger front is higher than the driver to clear the OEM cat.
You could make your own hangers. If you can work with a torch, get some 1/4 or 3/8 rod stock at the hardware store. On the pipe side, make a small arc that matches the pipe curve, then put a 90-degree vertical bend, then a purpendicular bed (fore/aft) and bend the tip down one end. Make a matching bend with the tip up, then figure out where you want it, and flatten the the other end, drill two holes, and bolt on. Or, weld to the frame. Leave enough room for a donut you can get at the parts store. Looks like a rounded-ff diamond with a home in each end. That's how the OEM does it.

If that is a kit, it must be a pretty old and long discontinued thanks to the 1990 Clean Air Act which outlaws retrofitting dual exhausts into cars that originally didn't have it, even with dual cats installed. More likely it is a one off custom exhaust by some shop.
