Bracket is not necessary. The VRSF downpipe for N55 doesn't even have a spot for the bracket to attach on it and the N54 guys never used a bracket either. The stock downpipe is much thicker in diameter due to the cat and has VERY narrow clearance between the transmission and the catalyst, about .5 inch. The bracket prevents movement and the downpipe from contacting the transmission. The VRSF downpipe has multiple inch clearance and it is not necessary to use it.
