On my first Roadster I used the J pipes and mounted the exhaust hangers because of the ball and socket joint at the Mustang Headers. Even leaving them loose I managed to crack both side pipes at the hanger mounting point (which FFR replaced without question). This time I am using headers on my FE and of course the pipes bolt right to them. I do not see any way for the sidepipes to droop and do not see the hangers as particularly useful. Is there something i am missing?
