[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14136296, member: 83412"] The flex section was included by the original Boss 302 exhaust engineers to address any NVH issues. The rate and amount of expansion at that juncture made it a good idea to include the flex section at that point as well as the braided flex sections on each sidepipe. "Creaking/Moaning" is the issue I could foresee when those stresses aren't compensated for. The factory GT500 exhaust system allows for elongation/shrinkage via the "sliding" hangers that are in place all the way back at the mufflers. This system needs that same allowance fore/aft but also laterally from side to side. Can GT500 owners get by with a solid "H" section in this application? Sure they can. But I would expect far more from FRPP from an engineering perspective as well as from a business perspective. In addition, they marketed this very GT500 offering with the wrong photo (they used that of an early Mustang GT custom "X" section) [I]for almost a year[/I] when they had been notified repeatedly about it. They have the capacity to change/update mistakes on their parts website with a few keystrokes that would have amounted to about five minutes of effort by someone with FTP access at Ford racing. This is the ad they ran with the incorrect photo... [ATTACH=full]572670[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
