The visible footpeg is only one part of the assembly.
You may need an approved exhaust hanger, model-specific cover plates and the specified hardware. First determine everything the original brackets support; the required parts depend on the motorcycle and exhaust, not just the desired look.
Inspect both sides before removal
Passenger brackets can support a muffler or other application-specific components. Check the original service information and existing aftermarket equipment. Do not remove a bracket until you know how each attached component will remain supported. Photograph the original arrangement and retain the identified original parts.
Choose structural support before cosmetic covers
If the muffler relies on a passenger bracket, establish the exact compatible replacement hanger. Then consider covers for exposed mounting locations. A cover is not automatically a load-bearing support. Check what each item does rather than buying matching-looking parts from a photo.
Match the exhaust configuration
Original and aftermarket silencers can use different mounts, clamps and offsets. A hanger listed for the bike may have exhaust-specific restrictions. Confirm the complete application and supplied spacers/fasteners. Avoid pulling the exhaust into alignment with mismatched brackets.
Keep passenger use in the plan
Removing passenger pegs removes necessary passenger provisions. Do not carry a passenger without suitable equipment restored. Label the original brackets and hardware if you plan to switch configurations. Have the finished assembly checked for support, contact, heat clearance and correct installation before riding.

Common questions
Do I always need an exhaust hanger?
No. It depends on whether the original passenger bracket supplies exhaust support.
Can I leave the muffler supported only by its pipe?
Do not assume so. Retain the support required by the exact exhaust installation instructions.
