I'll tell you something, the engine dont budge on the pro tec engine mounts either!
it did make it harder to get them all lined up, but now its solid.
probably wont be the most comfy of rides but not to worry.

now i need to get hold of a exhaust. what do u recomend?

2", 2 1/4", 2 1/2?
and where can i get such an exhaust. as i cant see many standard nova exhaust with a bore like that on it?
my janspeed that came off with the sr engine was definately not man enough for the xe.
