Hi Tony,

The way I remember the original header, it had two straps across the two pipes at the support, one on top having a clearance hole, and the one on the bottom having a weldnut underneath. The long bolt would go from the L bracket down, through the space between the pipes and cinch the weldnut, thus supporting the pipe from below.

The aftermarket replacements I've seen have weldnuts on both straps placed on the inside. I just figure these parts are mostly marketed to shops who do exhaust system work with a torch and stick welder.
