As close to the inlet manifold as possible, so you are measuring boost pressure as it enters the engine.

Jim,

Yep, you need to mount with exhaust hangers.
Heat will wreak havoc with the u bolts and won't allow the pipe to grow as it heats up.
Heat transfer into the body will make the area quite hot and the flex will eventually crack as all the movement is focussed at one point.

With the same fuel setting, not a lot of difference.
Tried half a turn yesterday and BIG difference

Those flex joints can't move much. Nice work, but looks like it will vibrate badly...???

I have a flex joint and the rest of the exhaust mounted on rubber hangers. It still shakes around like crazy.

If you mean your exhaust shaking around like a dogs tail, then triangulate your rubber hangers so they give sideways location.

My exhaust does not vibrate. I have one flex joint, and it is mounted using series-style flat rubbers.
