I would.
A let will be moving about on the mounts(if youve seen one of a RR, they jump and dive everywhere lol ), so worthwhile doing.
Unless its on solid mounts.

The rear mount is solid. Fronts are std. The same exhaust has run on Dave's old red nova turbo for about a year now with no problems. It was made by JP exhausts (same place makes ricks)
Hopefully it'll be ok, but if not i'll sort it :)
There should be a flexi joint where the downpipe bolts to the 90* elbow on the turbo.
I wouldn't bother fixing the exhaust to the rear mount either, if the flexi mount is on the elbow then the whole system is gonna shift around slighty, fixing it to the rear mount will only cause (possible) probs if you ask me.
Shouldn't jump around the engine bay either, decent solid mount on the rear and some good standard (filled with stikaflex) ones up front are more than enough to hold it solid, mine doesn't budge at all !
cripes, build standards are amazing..
I'm not sure why JP didnt fit a flexi, they made the exhaust on Dave's old car, and made a copy for me, both didnt have a flexi. I didnt notice until I got it home but since its run fine on Dave's, i'll not worry about it.Quote:

Dec's thread, the most amazing thing ive ever seen, shouldnt be compared with tbh - that one is a bit too 'dont touch it' and it would do the same to me.
Im confident that you will and should do the same as you did with NDZ - that never ended up looked sorry/ tired for itself..
Its the only way the project would be a success anyway.
Well i've just discovered that I've got the wrong altenator. Its from a 2.0L 8v, and the belt catched hard on the cambelt cover when fitted.
Has anyone got an astra GTE 16v Altenator in very good condition?
