What is (a silentblock?) Never heard of it, maybe just a term issue. I've had my 82 30 years and never heard that term before.

LOL OK. It doesn't need one, they are hung further back. Only the heat shield is bolted. Are you in the US?

the exhaust is fixed by a frame. I wonder why? What about vibrations?

Well, I looked at the diagram and I only see a support bracket on the AFT side of the cat. I zoomed the picture and I'm thinking it shows a bracket on the FORWARD side of the cat?

well....I got curious and went looking around for a 1982 exhaust. I found some pics and this one appears to show a forward support bracket..... or am I all wet? Maybe someone with an 82 can enlighten us???
(I edited the color to make it stand out)


and then I zoomed in just to eyeball it.....

I take that back... I just looked at the AIM and it does show that (hanger), mine never had one on my 82, but I don't have a CAT anymore anyway, sorry for the confusion, but I still never heard of a "silentblok". I wish members would put at least what country they are from, since terms are way different and makes things easier to understand.
