Header hitting frame of car

[BoostN IT]

I wanted to update everyone on this thread that I may have gotten these headers to work. It took A LOT of banging the metal pipes and heating the pipes red hot but I was able to get it to where it has about a washer sized gap between the steering shaft and header as well as I have a little more clearance now on passenger side after prying on the engine. The BIGGEST thing that helped was getting new motor mounts, steeda ones. This definitely did not increase almost any vibration over stock and it keeps the engine in place. So far so good I am reviewing a WOT log tonight but it felt like all the power was there this time. Still a tight fit but it will have to do for now. One last thing, I also used 2 washers to put under the motor mount on each side of the mount as well as 2 washers on the top bolt that the motor mount bracket sits on. This ultimately gave me just enough clearance to make these work.

please please please... just buy expensive headers as I cannot recommend 2M.

Glad to hear you’re in business. Time to make some beautiful music and power now!

Kinda wonder why they didn’t go with 4M or 8M. 2M name makes me think of 3Ms retarded little brother.

Lol 1/2M for half the quality

Maybe just "Mmmmmmmm headers". That would look great on the box.

Have any pictures of steering shaft clearance after this?
