SHOOT!!!! 
I hope they're not ALL like that. I still haven't received mine yet after ordering them through the GP in the Parts forum.
Got the X-Pipe too, but I guess it's on back order.......

I'm considering LG Motorsport. They're on sale right now for $995 - Have only heard good things from them.

My LG's came with an adapter piece. I just put on my own hardware. Take a look.........
I'm sure you could probably make a similar piece or maybe use an exhaust hanger strap. The stiff kind linked to rubber that holds the U-clamp...NOT the stuff that comes in a roll.

Mine were like that too. But that mount is completely pointless. The headers are not going to fall off anytime soon. It would have been better if they would have left the tabs off. It would have made them easier to slip into place.

Yes. The headers have 8 bolts each holding them to the heads. They are solid as a rock. The x-pipe has its own hanger so it's only applying a few pounds of wieght down on the back of the headers. I guess if the headers were very poorly made with weak welds, using that mount would reduce stress on the headers, but unless they mate perfectly, that mount will ADD a ton of stress to the headers as you tighten it. I bet that mount was just to reduce the chance of the stock cast iron manifold cracking. If GM would have put LTs on the car, I bet that mount would not exist.
