Exhaust manifold bracket

Hi everyone, not sure if it's worth posting, but just a general bit of info. I was looking for a bracket that supports the exhaust manifold underneath the rear of the sump, it connects to the back of the engine block and bolts up to the exhaust manifold. Mine was taken off and I guess the garage just forgot to put it back after some engine work a couple of years ago.

It was for a B16A2 with DCsports 421 manifold, I was advised by Honda the part number was 18213-SR3-J91 (discontinued) so ended up getting a UK DC2 bracket on the off chance it's fitted, and it was spot on.

Did you find it helped with vibrations?

I can't really feel any difference, it was just for peace of mind as I've had a previous exhaust manifold split at the exhaust port collector when driving down a very rough county road and didn't want this happening again
