Heh. He said "Whack".
Actually, yes, there is a fix for this problem Mr. Alex Ting. Installing
a VW Motorsport rear tranny mount and the TT front mount will greatly
help reduce the flex caused by the massive amounts of touque your 8V now
produces with the manly headers you have just installed. Poly mounts help
more but transmit more vibrato's to the interior cockpit configuration.
To some, a most undesirable side effect.

Only by a couple-three Milimeters or so.

The 22mm Neuspeed Swaybar has this bend provision for header clearance in
which you speak of, yes.
