Fitting new exhaust

What's the best order for fitting a new exhaust system. Should you tighten up the joints first and then the mounts? Or tighten the mounts and then the joints?
I've put a new exhaust on a 90 2.5 na D and it looks fine from underneath but inevietably ends up rattling against something when the engine's running at certain revs. The original exhaust has a habit of breaking its exhaust mounts and cracking its joints and I don't want the same to happen with the new one.

I'd do the joints first, using some jointing compound, then the mounts.
When doing the mounts, adjust / bend / modify as required to ensure sufficient clearance and lack of strain on the joints.

Hey trewoegey my missis say you signituar is wrong

Well you know how important proper spelling is on LZ. Can't have you letting the side down now can we.
