Been thinking about this since my complete new exhaust system showed up in boxes from Chev of the 40's this past weekend....
In my world...exhaust systems mount on soft mounts not solid mounts...every car I have worked on has rubber motor mounts....so is the exhuast system...then I rebuild Howard Knapp and we have rubber motor mounts and then a solid mounted exhaust system....how is this supposed to work??? every time the motor moves in its rubber mounts where is the stress going to go for exhaust system???....the exhaust is gonna snap in half if I was to really drive this stock 235 cu in motor...
Am I missing something???...you cant mount an exhaust system in a solid manner and then hook it to a rubber mounted motor.....
What am I missing here??
Any insight would be awesome...
