i'm doing a DX to EX header conversion and i read on another forum that i will have to buy a new exhaust brace (connects to header collector on back of block). i'm putting on an aftermarket header (DC sports 4-2-1) on and didn't know if what this guy was talking about is the stock ex manifold. the main question i have is what besides the header, cat, and catback exhaust system will i need to do this conversion?

 

i dont know what exactly he is talking baout but a new gasket should go with the dc header.

 

here are some pics of what i'm talkin about:

#13 on the top is the DX brace, #12 on the bottom is the EX brace. you can see that the mounting holes for the DX go straight down, while the ones for the DX go sideways.
