You don't actually need the brackets, the N54 guys have been running bracketless downpipes since 2007 without any issues with cracked turbo manifolds.
We just received our new F10 535i DP's, similar design without the brackets except ours is polished and a couple hundred bucks cheaper 
We've had nothing but praise from our test cars  |
Have someone put hand on turbo area, have other person kick in exhaust tip, you can feel and hear thump well on turbo body. Just think if someone rear ends you. There is a reason original has TWO mounting points.
