Default Side pipes?

The side pipes don't fit very well. You can't use 3/8 hardware, the size of the holes in the side pipes. I had to use 5/16 to get enough play to get the side pipes into the correct position.
Also are you guys mounting your pipes solid? That is not going to have any flex for the motor to torque! I put a rubber bushing in between the mount and the pipe. It gives it a slight litte movement capibility. Maybe it's not needed but it sure looks like it does. The flange is probably where it would leak if some motion is there.
There is a pic in my gallery.
