The standard exhaust mounts are gash.
Even with sockets in place, this happened to mine:

I'm not sure if that was in response to my post. I didn't actually mention the characteristics of the car (roll, etc.), I was simply commenting on how it 'sticks to the road', ie. it handles well.

If I could afford something else I would buy it, but I can't.
