hanging HKS Carbon-Ti muffler

I bought a used HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust. The seller didn't have any of the mounting hardware. I need to figure out a way to hang the carbon muffler. I can't find direct contact info for HKS and the sellers of they systems can't get the parts.

I can fabricate the two mounts that attach to the body. What I can't figure out is how to attach the muffler to the rear most hanger. Obviously I can't weld a hanger to the body of it so I was thinking I could get a big 'ol clamp of sorts. But I'm having trouble with that also. Diesel trucks have some nice size hangers/mounts but they don't come in the diameter that I need - which is about 6.8"

Any thoughts or anybody know the direct contact info for HKS?

The can is wrapped in carbon fiber so there's nothing to weld to. This pic shows the muffler and the clamp that normally goes with it:

There are exhaust hangers that look sort of like an overgrown band clamp with wings. These are widely available at any chain auto parts store.

I found something I could use. Fastenal p/n 0427945. I can install a flange to the bolts and weld whatever I need to that. Each clamp was less that $10
