For my 67BJ8, My fix was to install a set of Dennis Welch headers with 2 inch
down pipes into his 2 inch flow threw pipes. Sounds great ,no gasket problems

although it will require custom fabrication and welding to make it fit to the
original bolt holes. I believe it will have more flex than the stock mount and
I hope not so much that it puts a strain on the flexible section of pipe.
