Downpipes without brackets
Does anyone have a concern that the downpipes without brackets (enzo, VRSF etc) will have a long term effect on the turbo manifold? I see it levered off of there and it keeps me up at night. Granted a de-catted one is lighter but a lever is a lever. Thoughts?

It's probably ok because of the amount of support the remaining portions of the exhaust have; HOWEVER, it is lazy and cheap as hell that they don't use a bracket. I think those companies are under the impression that the intent of the bracket is to support the weight of a catted DP. That's really not the case. It's there to support the exhaust as a whole and to reduce NVH.

Yep, you get what you pay with companies like VRSF and the like.

In theory you have a point, but we never had any issue with the downpipes that do not have brackets

I plan on keeping the car for a good long while if not forever. So I have started thinking about long term effects. I imagine the 4" diameter provides quite a bit of support. That said we don't have any 10 year long data do we? I may swap out just to have the warm fuzzy. It doesn't help that my day job is looking for failures all day.
