question: looking at getting a pair of resonated test pipes from intense motorsports but they dont have the support brackets. so my questions is would i be better off getting some helix v2 with the support brackets even though they arent resonated? how likely is the exhaust/test pipes/header to crack with out the bracket? big difference in resonated vs non resonated?

 

Look at the support for the entire exhaust system
At one end is the header bolted securely to the motor.
At the other end is the cat-back with the first hanger where?
So between the end of the header, and first exhaust hanger, there is no support.
The decision is yours.

 

so basically the chance of the exhaust cracking because of no supports on the test pipes is very slim?
