2 at the back 1 in the middle hangers and the flexible side mount goes over the front of the cat cat flange and picks up the 2 bolt holes. So?

It's just where I would have expected the gaskets to leak if the exhaust wasn't supported in the middle properly and was sagging

[Pal]

I'll be leaving around 9.30-10

Yeah i know what you mean. I jigged up the old exhaust and put the rear/centre hangers in the same place with doubling plates, it fitted up mint but I extended the cat to the original length and trued both flanges up square with the spirit level. I'd say the tension issue is from the original rear cat flange not being square and that's where in getting the tension issue from.

If it leaks again I'll sus it out at work and true it up or put a 3"x8" auto flex on it. Shouldn't really need it because the front mount that picks up the dump pipe and cat swings with the engine torquing. But whatever it takes to not be doing exhausts on the w/end at work is the best fix for me. It was up on the hoist at my mates work so I just pulled it jigged it up and copied it. The original system had blown the glass out the poxy short front absorptive muffler and the rear muffler had snapped the perforated tube inside the muffler. Frrrrrrtt pop bang. Was shit rusty aluminised steel.100cell cat and 2xmagnaflows now full s/s Sounds sweet. Might just need a tweak to remove the tension. I unbolted the front hanger and gradually put even tension on all the bolts this time and removed the butter bolts washers spring washers etc and replaced with high tensile 10mm flanged bolts and grip nuts. Trev said check for a exhaust leak due to my lifter rattle sound? so I did and found a couple of lines in the driveway which lined up with the cat flanges. I ran it up yesterday with a large piece of paper under the leaky flanges and no probs so far? How does your exhaust hang from the car on the mounting points any pics?

your Cat looks very slim. maybe just deceiving in the pic

is it a 4" body or smaller? 

[t_revz]

after 10 months ive finally finished fitting and hooking up downlights in the lounge room. put 14 of the little suckers in

 

see women, we dont need to be nagged, we get it done eventually

3" in/out 5" body 100cell. Had a oval shaped catco when I got it.

First thing would be a flex joint, as it looks 100% solid from turbo to tip? Any movement of the engine trys to move the whole exhaust with it.

If you really wanted to be sure, add a flex joint and V-bands instead of the two bolt flanges.

Yeah we've got all that stuff at work. I had the car off the road for a few months when I bought it and just wanted to drive it so? With out tig purge welding. turbo flanges and v-bands was just a quick fix for a whole new s/s system. It's no gt-r or show car. Sounds good hammers hard. If you want to see a awesome piece of exhaust work check out Steve's gt lm upkeep on the forum. It's exhaust jewellery!

Out of interest where would you put the auto flex? Assuming you're doing it yourself not looking at pics or posts? Before or after the cat? Would be keen to see all the pics of your build? Must be a insane machine? A veritable titan?
