Question Long term effects of a Weapon R Street Header

I just bought a Weapon R Street Header off of someone on here. I was just wondering if anyone has encountered any problems over the long-term due to the fitment issues with the stock bracket. I would hate for the stress of the unsupported header to damage my head or something along those lines.

Does moving the location of a washer on the bottom of the header correct the problem?

Any feedback, comments, or fixes would be much appreciated.

The weapon r is a solid header. Stonger than the stock header and bracket combined. You can modify the bracket or just leave it out.

Random Saturday bump to the top.

Installing it is a bitch!! But I found the cat did give it a good "push" as it can hold up the header by itself. I dont know if I'm making any scenes LOL

btw I wonder who you got the intake from :P

I did the same thing with my bracket and had no problem but I think the bracket was overkill. Also with and intake and full exhaust (no cat) using the WR header I got 40MPG! On a side note I have one for sale if anyone is interested.
