Right, what Jim said...only supported by the frame in one location as pictured. The other end is supported by the header/collector (slip fit). I am planning on changing the header connection from a slip joint to a ball and socket joint like the pieces JEGS offers: JEGS Ball & Socket Exhaust Pipe Connectors - JEGS
I must admit I assumed this wonderful idea from Wolf K. I plan on playing around with making a set of "competition" pipes over the winter and this ball/socket joint would make removal/installation and bind-free alignment a breeze. After taking my current pipes off a couple of times, I've found that I'm not a big fan of the slip-joint connection with the little welded on tabs and 1/4-20 through bolts that keep the slip joint secure.
