its a 00 cougar. I dont have the support bracket the pre 98's do; I did get an extra hanger added to the downpipe however. Next time thihs thing gets tigg'ed It will be getting a bracket build or pulled off a pre-98. What does the bracket look like? would it bolt up to the header flange or shuould I just make a whole new one.
out of the box it really is a fairly nice header; fitment was fantastic.
