Gotcha. Damn. Looks like I'm going to have to figure this out on my own. Thanks for the input man.

I have ARH long tubes and was the very first to prototype them. It's hard to tell by your picture but mine has over 3/8-1/2" minimum at its closest area. If the person that installed them didn't tighten the motor mounts or if the engine moved off center that would certainly cause clearance issues.

Mine rubs hard on the left frame rail during hard right cornering. I have loosened the engine mounts and pushed the engine to the right and then tightened the mounts down. It helped a little but it rubs and vibrates hard when the engine shifts to the left and the chassis flexes. This Im sure is due to manufacturing tolerances from the car. The headers are beautifully crafted and are welded consistently. That is why some rub and some don't. I am not sure yet how I will address the issue......

Everyone is nice when u got money to give them.
To be fair though, Nick has definitely come through on his promises (can't really go into details specifically). I just spoke with him about the headers and we came up with some solutions and I feel pretty confident he'll make it right considering some recent experiences with him.

However, I just talked to one of the sales guys there and this guy was a complete fucking idiot. Unbelievable. This guy was the complete definition of shitty customer service. I hate that I forgot to get his name. I mean, "Ok. Call Nick then, bye." seriously??

Interesting. What about on the passenger side when cornering left?

I hope there is a good solution to this. I'm about ready to purchase the ARH system but I track my car so this is a show stopper for me if it can't be fixed. I do wonder if this would be an issue with any aftermarket headers though?

Good luck finding a fix.

Thanks man. I'm looking into getting engine mounts much sooner than later (going to order them today) to hopefully fix the issue.

I'll keep everyone posted and thanks for everyone's feedback.

No rubbing on the passenger side on mine. I would say any brand will have this issue on some cars. The just isn't a lot of space in there.

I myself would recommend checking to see if the stock mounts are tight and that the engine isn't to one side more. (Keep in mind that left steer rear wheel drive cars are offset to the right for the steering shaft.)
Putting urethane or solid mounts on a voodoo is definitely going to increase vibrations!
