Note

The flexible section on the front of the exhaust system must not be bent more than 5° from its neutral line, i.e. if the front exhaust system is left suspended, it must not be bent to a greater degree than is caused by its own weight. Excessive strain on the pipe will cause permanent deformation of the components. This can result in noise and leaks, and eventually to breakage.
