im using ES motor mounts with my JDM DC 4-1 ceramic header and T1R resonated USDM test pipe and T1R catback exhaust

its all 2.5 inch

i origionally had a carsound cat and a flex pipe

but the new test pipe replaces all of that, so where do i put a flex piece and how?

or do i really need it with the ES motor mounts?

i searched and could only find answers to turbo apps and slightly different scenarios

thanks

IMO- You really do need some flexibility, either a donut type of joint at the end of the header, or a flex piece in the test pipe. What kind of flange is on your header, a flexible/ball joint one or a fixed one?

 

fixed

Well, you can get a 2.5" flex pipe from http://www.summitracing.com , cut your test pipe in half, insert the flex pipe and clamp it on.

I would ask KTeller what they think.

You'd solve all your problems if you just ran open header.

Yeah, a ball and socket or donut flange would be your best bet.

 

mmm open header.....

so tempting, lol
