I bet!

Scott and Alistair have had great success building I4 exhausts with no
flex joint so when the current bushing fails, I'll replace the section
with pipe. The cat hanging out away from the engine may not be the
best bet but we'll see. In hindsight, I should have made the cat
serviceable with bolt flanges at each end.

Someday soon I hope to tilt my engine over to the 50º mount angle but
am in no hurry to do so.

I wonder how much of the old bushing weave is stuck in the element?

I appreciate the help and "list patience" with this thread. Thanks folks!

Neil.
