mystery bar?

[jack joy]

When I removed my manifolds,as the gasket needed renewing,there was what looked like a engine steady bar held on with one of the exhaust manifold nuts,the other end was not connected to anything,does anyone know where the other end should connect?
Thanks in advance;)

Possibly the bar that steadies the exhaust, well, gives it a little more support by the downpipe.

It usually bolts where you mentioned and the other end is connected to the downpipe/exhaust through one of the exhaust studs...

correct, it attaches to the y shaped exhaust bracket on oe cars.

Thanks for the advice:),I've got a powerflow sytem on and there is no bracket that I can see to attach this bar to,so I imagine it's ok without it? I just want to make sure as access is sooooo much easyer while the manifolds are off!
Cheers.
