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

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?

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.

we went 3 months before i even put them in the kitchen. she was cooking with a reading light

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?

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
