Behind the drivers side head there is a nut. I think it was 13mm, tight to get your hand in there to loosen it but it can be done. You don't have to get it all the way out, just loosen it a touch and the bracket should slip off.

Good to know... my Kooks race headers are on their way. No more AIR!!!!

Decided to just go ahead and get new ones so I can get them coated and then install them w/o much downtime on the car.

Will fix the broken ones out of the car and sell.
