Vernon Gregory @ skyport suggested may have bent the engine mount

Aren't the mounts on an Alon different than the 415CDE?

Broken exhaust caused by worn lower engine mounts was created by Keith Whitcomb
I recently had my exhaust nearly fall off. After I had it welded up and I could not align the exhaust flanges flush with the exhaust port. The exhaust pipe hitting the fuselage wouldn’t let the two surfaces meet.
My welder suggested I look real hard at the engine mount and the motor mount. Sure enough the lower motor mounts weren’t as symmetrical as the upper ones, and there was a small gap that I could stuff part of a zip-tie in a little way.
Now it looks like I will be replacing all 4 motor mounts very soon. Any advice by anyone here who has been down this rabbit hole?
