how hard would this be?

[phreakish93]

today i just installed my SS Megan headers, and ran across a lil problem. the bracket that attached the header pipe to the motor, located like right near the oil pan doesnt fit. the headers and the attach tab on the headers are off just enough to where the bracket will not fit. and at certain aspects of driving i get a rattling noise, obviously from the header and attach tab.

so now to my point of this thread. how hard do u guys think it would be to fabricate a plate/bracket to stiffen up the pipe so it doesnt rattle?

clothes hanger....... if it cant be seen

after I did my swap I didnt even bother attaching that bracket.

do your headers rattle against the bottom like mine do?

bend it out of way or cut up some stainless and drill some holes!

[droccAXE29]

Dont use wire!!! (heheh, lol)
I had the same problem when I installed my new headers, @!@#$$!
But no big deal if you have access to a jigsaw and a drill. Just use cardboard or manila folder to make a template, mark your holes and cut away! Here's a picture of mine(I hope this works). Peace out.

Also FYI, I used aluminum instead of stainless because it's easier to cut. Lates.

hmmm, yea. i didnt attach that back either. just remove the bracket.

hey how is that header working for you? i was planning on getting the same kind, let me know how it runs!

[starchland]

I was also interested in how this header is working for you. Where did you buy it from and is the flex pipe as look to be Stainless?

[droccAXE29]

My headers are stainless, but theyre not Megans. They work pretty good for being E-bay specials. I think I paid like $60 *dirt cheap*. The only thing is that they told me I was getting 4-2-1 headers but it turned out to be more of a tri-Y design. They work damn good for the price tho, improving power across the whole powerband. I even got metal gaskets

after driving on them yesterday afternoon and my highway driving to and from work this morn. they seem great as hell. . .lot quicker pickup noticed, lot more in the high end as well. also they look a thousand times better than the stockers of course.

starchland: i ebayed them. 180 shipped and yes the flex is stainless as well . . .i think, ill double check when i go back under the car to fab the bracket.

droccAXE29: thx for the awesome pic!!! exactly what i need . . .definitely come in hand. what specifically did u buy for the bracket plate that u cut up?

tomace: if you ever wanna see them for urself and give a test drive u are more than welcome to, just gimme a holler on here or u can reach me on aim at "starfishlb2000"

thx a lot guys for your input and such!

Which Ebay user did you buy those from? I'm thinkin I'll grab me some of those.

Could you post a link?

Thanks,

phreakish, now that I think about it, I used 1/8 stainless which was hard to cut and expensive. We have scraps lying around here so I was lucky. I think it would be beter to use aluminum. You could find a sheet metal shop and ask them for scrap aluminum/metal. Use your imagination. Maybe your local hardware store might have something close. So long as its around a 1/8" thick metal plate. Hope this helps, good luck!

Okay thanks.

I thought you grabbed some prelude h23 headers, my mistake.

I have an f22a prelude s and I'm trying to find out if h23 headers with fit.
