yep thats right. one of the diamond ones goes on the middle box the other goes on the very rear of the back box (near exit pipes).
the 2 round ones go at the back of the back box (near where it joins to mid section).

if ur running an aftermarket exhaust u may find the new rubbers break really quickly.
If so get some powerflex ones they are excellent  :wink:

S/s systems are heavier than their mild steel equivelent.

Ashley do mild steel systems which are light but obviously don't last as long.
