Test Pipes W/O vibration brackets/supports
When i received my test pipes luckily they had the support brackets that the original cats have that mount up on the same bracket that attaches to the lower part of the transmission.
A buddy of mine has the Megan Racing test pipes in which only came with flex pipes as the next best thing. when it was on the alignment rack and he gassed it up you can see the whole system shake vigorously entailing a future break of the flex pipe sections.
So we made brackets that mount up to the existing bracket that mounts to the bottom of the trans.
Here are some pictures.

no problem. If we didnt do this eventually the flex pipe would have broke.

not at all, they are not solid. They have give way under extreme stress. They are actually part of an exhaust clamp that we just cut to par.

If you do you can always head over to megan racing site and purchase there 02 sensor extensions to cut the amount flow to the 02's for you. That would hinder an CEL.
