Just a quick question. I've was fitting the silencers yesterday and couldn't get them to line up with the support brackets. I had to remove the screw from the engine support to get enough play to line up the silencers. Is it ok to run the exhaust without the screw in the engine support?
What i've learned from this is never buy cheap replica exhausts.....

well then the header bolts are supporting it and I don't think that is a good idea...

I don't think that "new delkevic set" is cheap at all.

Compared with buying oem ones they're pratically free..

Will have to try and drill out the silencer brackets to get some room to secure engine bolt so...also chewed up 4 silencer gaskets trying to refit them at a cost of 10euros a pop...damn honda and they're mild steel pipes..

This has started to **** me off big time and i've also just forked out 2300 to get my car back on the road...aargghh
