I would think that would make holding the front mount bar a real PIA during replacement. It sucks enough stock. I made all new mounts with spacers and captive bolts and its way better, but you still need to hold the T bar at least for the first bolt. Welded on frame mounts would be the answer. The foam works good and you can pack it right around the header as its heat proof. I've had a love/hate relationship with that thing since I got it, a PIA to deal with but I still have the OEM pipe in perfect shape.
