Headers hitting a/couple line or bracket

[robmustang201528]

I noticed a couple of days ago, it looks like my headers r touching the A/C line. At idle its fine but I'm thinking when I step on the gas and the engine torques over it hitting the line. Anybody with this issue? Someone said it can cause false knock? I have 1 7/8 ARH

The link below from american muscle shows a small bracket that comes with the headers. I assume it is used to keep the line off the headers.

I could be missing something but the link just show the headers and the x pipe. I couldn't find the small bracket in the link.

Removed the clamp and flipped it upwards and used a metal zip tie to secure it.

Are most of you that are flipping the AC bracket just zip tying it to the smaller line directly on top of it that has the black flex tubing?
Thanks

When installing my pypes headers, I also did BMR motor mounts.
Hard revs and light clutch slips with the e brake on while watching the motor show zero movement, seems like a good fix to the a/c line problem to me! 1/4 inch of clearance with the pypes

How bad is the NVH with the motor mounts?
Last car felt like a jackhammer with Aftermarket mounts.

A bit of vibration from 1700-2100 rpm but other than that it's not very noticeable. Not enough to rattle anything in the interior. When I did differential insert pucks on my last GT, they added more nvh than motor mounts

Shifter stopped moving around too, so that's nice. Whiteline insert to go in this week

i would also cut the bolt down on the bottom as well

Beef which bolt? The one holding the AC line bracket? I thought it was to be removed completely? Or are you referring to a different bolt

you can remove it, if you want, we usually cut the bolt down and that does the trick whatever you want to do to get it out of the way

Any suggestions for getting rid of the bracket after the headers are on? My shop didn't grind down the bolt and it's either touching or darn close. That's a tight fit, but I would like to get it out. Can the back of the bolt be reached from the underside of the car?

Had the same issue on my 2018. I loosened the mounts and did the pry bar slide over thing. Good gap now on both sides. We'll see if it shifts after track day.
