Well I thought DC Sports would have the damn hangar to prevent the header from breaking elsewhere. I'll keep it running like this until I can get a deal on a buddy club one I have seen some go for 500$ used.

why would you buy a used one for 500 when a new one is 800? the only way i would buy a used one is if it was less the half the price new, if not its not worth it. thats just my .02

Defiantly broke the hanger on mine as well. Then the flex pipe ripped completely off when i was 150mi away from home...Had fun with that for a week until the new flex pipe piece came in. If i were you i would spend the extra 130$ on the ingalls stiffy, made a huge difference all around on my car and now my header dosnt meet the floor board every time i reverse!
