i say your best bet in a 4-1 would be AW, it can be bought for 300-400 depending on the place. and if you want the best header overall i saw get the MMW. the generation 2 header is FLAWLESS.

MMW header doesn't have the bracket mounts either. Only Alphawerks and Megan have the OEM bracket mounts, and AW is out of production (see above).

I have the DC Sports header on order. Since I'm going custom exhaust I will see if the shop can fabricate some sort of support for the bottom of the header.

you can easily make a bracket for the header, or have a muffler shop do it for you.

you can also weld in a flex pipe onto your s-pipe to ease up the moving.

^^Good ideas. I was thinking about having new brackets made that would mount to the existing holes on the motor block, on one side, and to the header/s-pipe flange bolts on the other. With longer bolts of course.
