demon theives stock them. They are bit shit though, they tend to fail. The join in the std RST exhasut is very good, not sure what it's called, it's spring loaded.

i had a spring bolt joint on my tt,
but with extreme amount of engine movement (ie big power or bad design engine/gearbox mounts) i wouldn't say there up to the job, as on my xr2tt with 180-200 bhp, vibratecnic mounts and spring joint, it still cracked twice, and after i fitted a flexi never had a problem.
