I had an ongoing problem with the exhaust pipe rattling where it goes
through the X brace of the chassis. I had a flexible pipe fitted between the
bottom of the extractor and the exhaust pipe just before it goes through the
chassis, the exhaust from there back is bolted solid to the chassis. It has
now been on there for over 3 years with no problems.
