That is just a heat shield on the mount.

He is probably refering to the O2 sensor wire. It seems a tad tought, but the wires showing is normal. Just try and get a little slack on that wire.

im talking about the silver thing, i guess the mount is what it is. Never even noticed the down pipe like that, ill have to go check that out also. But the post was refering to the thing that looks like its splitting open

Edit...Just went out and the down pipe doesnt have a gap, guess it just looks like that in the picture, and that wire has plenty of slack in it so I dont guess its any concern. As for this mount, is there any reason that I may need to get this looked at any time soon or should it be fine?
