In my blueprint, there is a template to cut a section out of the rigid side of the motor mount brace so you can tack weld a tab onto the bottom of the bend and bolt it to the mount for added support if you feel you need it.
Curious to see what the difference would be between a 'true header' and 'The Pipe' in its ability to spool as heat loss plays a big part of velocity in the hot side. Some quick calcs show an almost 4:1 ratio of surface area between pipe and header given the header tubes being 1.5 diameter and only coming 3" off the head, collecting at the front with no collector factored into area. Pipe is about 110 in/sq vs 395in/sq of estimated header. And those remote turbo installations where the turbo is at the rear bumper?
C'mon.....look at all that heat being wasted!:banghead:
