The folks that make the exhaust pipes told me to use the supplied clamps and no bracing support whatsoever. I had used a larger clamp and lost my exhaust pipe in 19 hours. The new one, properly clamped has about 150 hours now without incident.

The clamps attach the exhaust pipes without a firm joint. This allows vibrations and doesn't stress the system.

Anyone have pictures of how they supported the exhaust pipes on an O-320?
One of mine recently cracked, I suspect because of vibration of the
cantilevered pipe.  I'm looking for ideas on how to support it.
