ESMM; effect exhaust?

[itchy5]

Hi all, i just got my ESMM installed because my DCRH (4-1) was cracking :sad:. After getting the exhaust leak fixed the muffler shop said my exhaust shakes so much that its possible that it could cause more problems and worse cracking. Apparently its because the previous owner who installed the exhaust didn't use flanges and did straight welding :boxing:, so basically its one piece from header to tip. Should i be worried? i'm thinking of just adding a set of flanges right after the header, is it necessary? it has flex piping welded in already http://www.clubrsx.com/graphics/00000001/44533.jpg just fyi.

thanks for help guys :wave:

adding the flex pipe should do the trick. if u dont then yes it will keep cracking.

Did you get ESMM or ESMMI?

ESMMI help with wheel hop so I wouldn't want to get rid of them. But with all that vibration who could blame you if you took them out. Perhaps upgrading the stock motor mounts to aftermarket ones would help. Maybe it would make it worse.

I think the DCRH probably adds to the vibration. Or was it the JRRH that vibrated a lot. Maybe get a DC shorty header and a high flow cat.
