2frolic,
I agree with your concerns on exhaust movement, and some allowance for movement must be built in somehow. Factory five has flanges and their sidepipes bolt to the frame just like ours do I believe. I have some heavy rubber "pads" between the bolt and the outer frame where they mount. I'll have to take another look at my buddys FFR to see what they used. But you are absolutely right that there must be some freeplay, otherwise we'll be cracking exhaust parts....not a good thing.
