so...i'm not exactly sure what the benefit of exhaust hangers are. kartboy's website says it reduces swaying but is the swaying a negative thing...does it affect the exhaust?

also, being that everyone has a hard time (or just a very time consuming experience) with the rear aftermarket motor mounts, can i get away with just installing the front ones? will it hurt anything to not have the rear mounts installed? as the saying goes, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link...would keeping stock rear mounts have an adverse affect since it would be weaker than the front ones?

I just used a front mount and after numerous hard launches my rear mount tore in half and caused a whole lot of engine damage. (mainly due to the location of the supercharger).

If you plan on launching hard do both or neither. If you just want it to help smooth things up then yeah a front will be fine...but consider yourself warned.

if you are nervous you could always do the front and the two side inserts....that should help out!
