Default Broken Hatori flexi header YS110

Hi Guys,

Woundering if you can help out here.

I have a MK Topstar 110 with a YS110 mounted on a Hyde soft mount with a nose ring.

I've broken 2 flexi header pipes recently within 10 flights. I was told I had the MK flexi pipe support too tight on the rubber mount, therefore not allowing the pipe to move side to side as the engine rocks.

Having slackened the MK flexi pipe support off, the tuned pipe is pushed by the engine to one side of the tuned pipe tunnel under the wing ( as shown in the picture )
So far, the flexi header hasn't broken like this, although it's starting to wear away the side of the pipe tunnel. I see other models with the MK flexi pipe support mounted verticle as apose to like I have it on its side. I'd like to keep the tuned pipe in the centre of the wing and not have a header break. Is this possiable ?

I appreciate anyones help.

Mike.
