I dont know if this is the right place to pos this but its motor related..

Arite so my friend has a ep3 and has just purchased headers dc race headers and they say that you need engine mount bushing or else your flex pipe will snap is this true im not to much into ep's but im just curious ive never heard anything like this for b-series motor that if you upgrade headers you need new upgraded mounts or bushing for now...??

i tried looking for it but couldnt find anything, any opinions..

Thanks a lot guys .

The reason why this is common for the K-series, is because the stock engine mounts are quite soft, and with the race header the flex-pipe will do a LOT of bending under normal use. (It's positioned very late in the header, causing a ton of bending/flex)

It's not quite as apparent in B-series applications, though.

 

ohh that makes sense arite will thats all thanks a lot!
