Stabilizing headers to the engine?

Those of us that have run RB fender exit know all about this.

The thing is, SB headers "naturally hang" pretty much where they belong, that is, there's not a bunch of twisting force on them, so I don't think it's much of an issue. But it certainly won't HURT. Probably just tying the collectors together with a simple brace would be easy, if you can keep from affecting ground clearance.

I am using Remflex header gaskets and they are soft graphite over a steel center. (guaranteed not to leak ever)
I figured if the engine moved around a little from a bump, or say a little too rich on a cold startup and it lopes, it might loosen up on the gaskets and start leaking.
The gaskets are lifetime guarantee no questions asked, but I still don't want to end up with them leaking.
I think I'm going to add a short strut from each of the two lower bellhousing bolts to the collectors and use a hose clamp to hold the header wrap and the strut both.
I'll feel a lot better about it.

Thanks
