Abstract
An exhaust-system support structure comprises an exhaust-system tubular-member mounting arm for engagement with an elastic support hanger assembly, and a support bracket having a tubular-member clamping portion for tightly holding an exhaust-system tubular member or exhaust pipe and a mounting-arm clamping portion for tightly holding the mounting arm. The arm has a flattened portion formed in a abutment portion for abutting the exhaust pipe. The mounting-arm clamping portion has a cross section such that its inner peripheral wall is contoured to be fitted to the outer periphery of the flattened portion to hold it. The arm is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe by pressing the bottom face of the abutment portion against the outer periphery of the exhaust pipe.
