2M Fabrications Review (Headers)

[tdstuart]

I’ve also seen some posts that indicate it’s hitting the frame on the passenger side. Might be something to check as well.

Whelp the header is definitely rubbing the steering shaft. I did use header wrap so maybe if I cut it off on that section it won’t rub. Either way it’s really close.

Gaskets also appear to be leaking smh. Would you mind linking these posts so I can include them in my detailed post?

I’ll check the frame rn

This thread has a lot of “buyer beware” posts for 2M.

I recently installed a set of headers in my garage on jack stands. It took about 10 hours over the course of two days and it sucked. I'd be pissed if they didn't fit and had to be removed and massaged or replaced. If you're in the market for catted headers on a budget, spend the extra $250 and get the Stainless Power, they fit perfect.

It’s literally impossible that these are made in the US at this price. They’re obv China clones sold by someone who will tell people what they want to hear.

They are china dog shit. That's why my headers shipped to me from San Diego(Port city) NOT Idaho. Mine fit like absolute garbage hitting the body and steering shaft. Now I have LTH Headers and they were perfect.

Wow. Interesting. That's messed up that they claim they are made in the U.S. but then again I'm not surprised at that price point.

Have you reached out to 2M at all about this? Wondering what they have to say.

Yes this was there response
”2015-2017 cars are notorious for the engine not being centered. Center the engine. Also, motor mounts break down and drop the engine, reducing the clearance. Vehicles with more than 30,000 miles should have new motor mounts installed to regain factory clearance. Finally, we highly recommend that header wrap is not used. It significantly decreases clearance in an already tight spot”

how tf do I center the engine lmao

I mean the motor mounts are slotted and do allow for some side to side movement. However it didnt matter for me because my 2M trash was already touching the steering shaft and the body.

Well I hope you get it sorted out.

Like the actual motor mount or the motor mount bracket?

The aluminum motor mount brackets are slotted.

The aluminum motor mount brackets are slotted.

I must be confused cause all I see on my motor mount bracket is the holes for the bolts into the block and the hole for the engine mount stud. Don’t see how I could adjust it
