To be fair with that much power and havin used standard engine mounts besides the lower one,something had to give. i had the same probelm on my car and the engine movement was excessive and caused exhaust knock.maybe it needs readjusting? replacing the engine mounts was a good shout first i think and it would have had to been done sooner or later.

They have probably revised the fixings too. However, a lower engine mount should have helped but it may have been on the way out before installation.
It's not so much the exhaust itself but the jolting from the extra power it's being subjected to on a remapped car.

....No links that I'm aware of. I've had detailed discussions with Milltek's boss man about it and also their factory manager. You might find something on Milltek's web site though.
