Mines mounted low, it only clears the left hand sub frame rail by about 10mm.   Daniel Kroehn ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:05 PM Subject: Re: Flex joints on exhausts Daniel, I think it depends on where the turbo is mounted in relation to the crankshaft.Ive seen some hi mount turbo setups where cracking was a problem (mainly stainless).The problem was fixed with a flex pipe.I havent seen these problems with the factory like setups where the turbo is mounted a lot closer to the crankshaft.The whole exhaust system would have about half the movement of some of the hi mount setups.
