Default Exhaust hangers with solid motor mounts

So with solid motor mounts can you mount your exhaust pipes solid as well or do you still need aime flex/movement?

I will have the flex of my hangars plus I am going to install a stainless flex. But with the motor not moving as much it should be less of a issue.

I'm not sure that can be answered. How long is the exhaust system? Are we talking 3 feet past the collector or all the way back?

I think theres still way too much vibration and sound that would make its way into the cab if its solid mounted. I side on rubber hangers as well.

I would never solid mount it, F- That. That would be annoying in the cab.
