While you've got the old manifolds off I would highly suggest poly motor mounts, it helps alot with keeping the y-pipe from banging.

And i think your y-pipe is supposed to be flipped around. That bracket bolts up to the exhaust mount on the passenger side.

also get some NGK TR55's. best and easiest time to change spark plugs is when no header or manifold is in the way

+1 for poly mounts. I just installed my Longtubes and Motor Mounts 2 weeks ago and I have no clearance issues and the car feels awsome with the poly mounts.
