The stress will be less down stream than right at the header you have more flex down stream

Yeah right ... my oil stays with the car... your oil at the garages is added with "Speedy flour"
Actually that black thing is more like crud coming from the turbo expresso machine

Jeez, I can't believe you dare crawl into /under that morass of cooking grease! Unless of course, it is virgin olive oil!

If I am not mistaken, motor mounts in SS must be stock. Just as ST states "any motor mounts may be used" or some such verbage.

Get "Glamour Kitty" as a sponsor and you could get the funding to fab up a stronger exhaust.

Hey, that is one of the products my company represents! I'll talk to the regional rep next time he's in.

If you are giving me one for free I'll be happy to stick something on my car as a sponsor... glamour kitty ... what 's with you (Mark) and cats???
Up chew tabacco and spit them out like a furball?

UPDATE: I am cutting the flange and adding a flex hose. Mechanically I am replacing springs (all stock for now, much to the fact that I'd love to move up to ST-4 or SPC someday...) and checking motor and transmission mounts (yes, all to meet SS class so no urethane). See if this cures the exhaust issue AND 3rd gear popping out.

Easy fix for the exhaust issue and the popping out in 3d gear: Spelled..... MAZDA. :hello2:

I do admire your tenacity, though!

Stephan,

Your 'can do it' spirit when dealing with an Italian car is very much appreciated.
