Default Thunderheader installation

I got a Thunderheader that I'm trying to install in my 08.
But I did not get any bracket to mount to the transmission, does the Thunderheader uses it? or it's just mounted by the headers and the end pipe with nothing on the middle?

EDIT: Got the bracket

There should be a clamp about mid way back. At least there is on mine...

There is a clamp but just to hold the muffler body, not to connect to the transmission bracket.
So at this point it looks that there are only 3 mounting points.. 2 front of the headers (to the cylinder) and 1 for the end of the muffler, sounds good?
