Also,

If you have rubber motor mounts and solid sidepipe mounts and solid collectors, something has to give when the engine torques. This is usually the header bolts. Headers have even been known to break at the flange because you have a rigid system and a moving motor.

Just yesterday I had a rubber gasket put put between my sidepipe mounts and frame.
