Downpipe Mount
- Thread starter HB Chris
- Start date
I made a bracket that attaches to the tranny at the support buffer. I couldn't get any other Getrag brackets to line up. I've since shortened the 2 the bolts but the concept is the same. I also wrapped the exhaust pipe with insulator tape under where the bracket clamps to it in order to eliminate vibrations to the tranny. Also a couple rubber isolators between the brackets. Don says you don't need a support here but I have it on in case.
Thank you Steve, any others out there?
Can someone post a picture where this would be located?
Looking at CoupeKing's 5-speed, I see no mount for a downpipe?

Exhaust Mount
The center exhaust mount has to modified a bit. There are many ways of doing it, and the one shown in the pictures is probably the easiest because it can be made with the fewest fabricated parts. I believe you need the 2800CS auto-trans exhaust mount to make this work. These pictures were taken by TJ Noto on his installation:
