Default is my downpipe too close to the transmission mount?

I just noticed that the downpipe i had custom made looks a little close to the front transmission mount. How much does this mount move?

Your fine. If its too close its only going to dent the downpipe and the problem will fix itself. But it looks like you have beefy mounts so I doubt its going to move that much

It looks fine to me. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Most likely it won't hit.

As far as the gasket between turbo and downpipe goes, I don't know anyone who runs one. I have never run one and I've never had a leak there.

only thing i'd worry about is if your radiator will clear it.

dont pay attention to those stock radiator mounts, im running a half size aluminum koyo rad,

i'm having a buddy of mine weld in metal brackets for new mounts. i'm probably gonna have to mount the fan infront of the rad though, and cut out some metal to make it fit.

i will be running one on my new set-up only because my last set-up had a warped flange (hey it was homemade) and causeed a nasty exhaust leak that drove me crazy. I'm not taking any chances this time
