ADA head and drypipe bracket

[yamanube]

So I have a new ADA girdled head and am going to be running a Type 4 pipe with an ADA exhaust bracket but I do not understand how it all goes together. I dont see how the bracket fits on the head, it doesnt seem to lign up with the bolts I thought it would. Anybody got some pics of this setup or can help me out?

I had a similar setup for a while. I assume you know where the pipe mounts to on a stock head. That's where the bracket will go. I believe it mounts with three bolts. Those are replacements for the headbolts in those spots - they come with the bracket.
Simply remove the ADA head bolts in those 3 locations, put the bracket on, and put the 3 longer bolts on.
The thin pieces are what mounts directly to the head. You will be bolting the pipe to the thick piece. I believe you use the spacers as needed for the pipe.

Here is a picture of the bracket installed on the head.
Disregard what I said about the spacers - they sandwhich between head and bracket, as shown.

ya think that same ada mount will work on my greater head if I dont use the girdle kit, to me it looks like it will, it just used the corner 3 head bolts and sits flat.

I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.

Ahhh yes now I see exactly how it works, thank you very much Matt. I was racking my brain trying to figure out where it goes. Now I feel dumb!

Another question, when I put my exhaust manifold on do I want to use sealant or just dry gasket?

dry gasket

Just a gasket.
