question about the exhaust
I have a general question for delubozpart:
I looked at the picture of the exhaust on eBay and to my it looks, well let's say "very similar" to a GHL (which I have on my Boxster), with a few significant differences:
The differences I notice are:
* The GHL uses the original mounting bracket for the stock exhaust (the one which goes on top of the exhaust). The advantage of that is that the two mounts on top of the exhaust are rubber mounted while your exhaust bolts on directly, so I'd expect that vibrations are not dampened.
* the stock exhaust (Boxster S) is mounted at 6 different locations: the mounting bracket (on top), two mounting brackets to the cats, a center mount (don't remember where it's connected - differential?) and of course the two connection tubes to the cats. The GHL uses all these mount points with exception of the center mount, but well you still have 5 mount points
* Your exhaust only seems to be mounted "on top" and then bolted on to the cats via the connection tubes. meaning 3 mount points.
This would make me a bit worried that the whole construction is not sturdy enough and will suffer metal fatigue much sooner than the GHL or the stock exhaust.
Am I missing something here?
