Your car looks great as is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
You don't need a fancy bracket that will break again. This bracket needs to bend in the length direction of the car as the heat exchangers will thermally expand a lot (1/4"+), pushing the back part of the exhaust system toward the back end of the car. |

What he said, re: it needing the flex in the fore/aft direction. It's the first thing I thought when I looked at the pic in your first post. The brace welded along the length of your bracket probably caused it to flex too much in that one spot and eventually broke there ... |
