Burn through!?!? That's just where I skipped over a (now) unused hole...and on the other mount I skipped the part around the joggle so I'd still have space to get the bolt seated. I will admit I took a picture of the "pretty" side...I was having a helluva time getting warmed up welding today. I did weld the inner and outer sides of the mounts though, the factory was just on the outward facing joints.

I just measured the exhaust...looks like maybe 1/8 larger for the 3.5L. 1 7/8 vs 1 3/4, I could be off though.

I definitely appreciate all the offers of help! Anyone is welcome to stop by and check it out if they're interested.
