hi ..
as I said, stock DV exhaust systems don't have a problem with cracking.

on the two DV systems I have laying around that have a flex junction in
them..
the muffler is still mounted to the engine with rubber mounts.

the stock system is So Good that I have reproduction left and right
muffler brackets that I had made.
Nice 'n heavy duty too.
Have a few sets left.
Just not very into marketing conversion parts..
but if anyone would ever like to partner up on that..
I have numerous well-designed and very strong upgrade and improvement,
and replacement parts ,
plus great ideas toofor other onestoo.

I get them cut out by a computer controlled machine ..
very simple to order say 5 more , at any time.   - as they aleady exisit
in a computer program at my fabricator's.
