Ok here's what I'm gonna be running in favor of my side dom. Basically you take a SS steel header, cut it at the engine mount, rotate it 90 deg counter-clockwise, and reweld it. Then, cut it at the bend and weld in a 2" extension. At the end of the extension weld the coupler on. Now you can put the stock SS pipe on and make any bracket you wish for support. The header length lost around 3/8", however, I plan on making up for that but extending the header right before the main body of the pipe by 1".
Notice, I welded in a bracket to the steel header for support. That way any rear-end flex will not effect the pipe integrity. The pipe is 1 7/8" from the rear tower and rests 1 1/8" above the fuel tank. I used the gold baja sway bar for support and it's rock solid.
Oh, one last thing. The RD-Logics pipe will mount up the exact same way. I would have prefered the RD-Logics pipe since it's so smooth but my buddy I gave it to flaked and didn't get it to me. Also, Don't make fun of my beat-to-shit SS pipe . It was borrowed for mock-up purposes. I need to get a newer one off e-bay or something.
