Turk,

Think about it. If the engine is on flexible mounts and rocks side to side just a little, say 1/8th inch, the headers act as a lever on the side pipes, and thay are going to have to move up and down too, maybe 1/2 an inch. I was not able to find a way to let the sidepipes move that much without sagging down from the weight, heat and vibration and cracking the header tubes. That's why I went solid all the way. Except for the transmission mount. That needs to flex to let the chassis twist.
