How dark was the parking lot when you bought the truck? You must have got one heck of a deal then on the truck??? So how far are you from putting up some big HP numbers and smoking out all of us 24'vers dudes?

Mine has a bracket I made, too!!
That's a lot of weight to be holding up, and twisting on the manifold/housing!! However, I did run about 4K miles with my BD Twins an no support bracket!

Because it was 2 in the morning when I hung it, and the bracket was cut off!!!
No Problems in 4K miles AT ALL!! No Boots, No leaks, Nothing! Took them off to put on the bigger set...4K miles later, I'm back to a single charger (that I already blew up)
I really liked the BD Twins, but they weren't big enough for a 12v at 450+. ~400 was PERFECT ~300 Valet when Towing was awesme too, btw
