Downpipe bracket?

[VermontTy]

Is there a bracket that attaches between the tab on the downpipe and the bellhousing, or does the bracket on the downpipe attach directly to a stud on the bellhousing bolt? Looking at one Ty while assembling the other, and the black one appears to have a triangular bracket from two bellhousing studs, and the tab on the downpipe attaches to that bracket?

Does anyone have a picture of this, and more importantly, if there really is one, does anyone have an extra? Thanks.

That is the correct factory downpipe bracket.

Either of you have one? I'll post in the WTB forum too. Figured you'd have one Kevin!!!!

Re: Downpipe bracket?

I have heard to just leave the bracket off. I guess the bolt or nut can back off, thus causing the bracket to rattle against the bell housing, causing false knock. I have one somewhere, and I wasn't planning on reinstalling it because of this reason.

i put mine back on since there was about 1/2 an inch clearance between frame and dp i had to jack up the dp with a jack to get everything to line back up but when i was done there was almost 2 inches worth of clearance ! there would be worse problems of false knock with the dp bouncing off the frame ?sorry adam i only have one and i need it .i will take pics and measurements for ya so you could make one it's just sheetmetal .

I'd heard about false knock and what not from the DP tab, but figured I'd use it if it lined up alright. With JS and Moroso mounts, the motor isn't going to move, so I suppose either setup would work. Either way I go, it'll be temporary until I can rob a bank and buy the turbo - DP setup I want. Just for shts and grins Kevin, if you can grab some specs on it, that would be cool.

Thanks for the help all.....

That bracket actually helps hold the turbo in place from moving around, may be why some have cracked their exhaust manifold turbo side. I have a card board trace of that bracket if you need it pm me.
