Exaust bump stop

Still fighting with exaust movement. After my rubber/duct tape temporary item melted at the track (after boost hose blew off, and the exaust was really hot), exaust pipe was happily melting the rear bumper. So I need something more rigid. Yes, and more clamps ;). Here is the result:
Adding more flexibility benefits whole system, now the engine is not trying to break the exaust off the turbo, but pushes rubber. After engine returns to the initial position - the exaust returns also. Went to the street for a test drive - after some pushing, exaust still in place. Good :). For some reason DVR refused to record this run. This is bad. I think I need to rethink whole on-board camera concept.
