    Are both the set up supported on the chassis? Is this a good idea with engine flexing and all?

    I would think that the bracing would be mounted on the motor somehow to reduces stress on the crossover/headers during hard acceleration where the motor jerks around the engine bay.

    I figure that but I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't run solid. So them mounting the support on chassis is not a good idea if your not running solid correct?

    Correct ;) Mount like the first pic if you run normal mounts.

    They are PTK mild steel headers. My buddy took his car down to them about 5 years ago and had them build the "Drag Radial" kit. Once he parted out his car I bought them. I added in the aluminum down pipe and spaced the turbo up to clear my frame rail, but other wide they fit really nicely.

    I've seen them come up for sale used here and there. Not too long ago there was a new setup on eBay. If I could come up with some more spare time and some room in the garage I would think about making a few sets. I've had several local guys asking about buying them.
