Default RS2000 Mk6 tubular manifold

Hi there, I've got a mk6 rs2000 with a tubular exhaust manifold. It's been bolted together on the downpipe section by the previous owner but I think it should have springs to allow for flex. I wanted to know if my thoughts are correct and if possible if anyone knows of somewhere I'd be able to get some, any info would be great. Thanks, Robert

Is it an aftermarket manifold?

Are you talking about a flexy pipe on the end of the manifold?
