That's only a myth. If you use the transmission brace on the downpipe you should be fine. If it were a transverse motor where the motor rocked front to back, then a flex-pipe would make sense. But not on a longitudanal where the motor only shifts side to side.

Didnt know you were on here ! this is slw240sx from OD.

only experiance i have had with the Long downpipe version was with stock manifold and o2housing it put it straight into the frame rail. might actually fit with with the SS O2 and manifold.

I'm running an SSAC mani, T28, and the Fly'n Dumpipe (O2 and downpipe, all in one). It fits like it's stock. You can BARELY see my downpipe past the frame rail and it's miles away from touching it.

well see...i also noticed while lookin at my ssac sr dump and ca dump that the ca dump is slightly shorter in height...tha may have a little to do w/ why sr pipes sit low also (tho im sure its mor motor angle and turbine placement)
