what does that have to do with a flex pipe?

The flex pipe attaches to your header and connects to the car or replaces the cat. it allows the the header to flex with the motor without tearing up the rest of the exhaust system.

that's pretty cool. i wish my car had enough power to break itself.

anyway, don't get traction bars or anything like that. all you need are some upgraded motor mounts. energy suspension makes poly inserts for like 30 bucks, http://www.jimfab.com sells some good replacements for 100 bucks (what i run .. work great), hasport sells the best stuff but it's $$$ or you could just fill the stock mounts up with window weld for free and call it a day.
