Default TPIS headers vs. all others?
Are the TPIS headers the only ones that allow retention of the alternator bracket?

I was able to reuse all the brackets but had to reradius them on a bench grinder. No big deal. Don't know about EM, Hooker or Melrose.

The EM headers allow you to keep them as well.

I have a number of TPIS products on my 86'. I made a photo doc of the header install, including commentary of my likes and dislikes, you can see it here if you are interested:

i have the Melrose system as well. It's top qaulity but expensive. I believe it was somewhere just north of $1700.
