SW header install question

[RubyRedBoost]

Only SW. ARH and kooks are fine. I haven't heard of anything else touching.

Thank you.

Well... They are not touching and they are not causing knock issues.
Build quality is unbelievable

Mine was touching causing false knock. Finally fixed it yesterday, really should have just taken it off during the header install. Had to go in bare handed because with gloves I couldn't get to it. A little blood later, knock free.....

My hands looked like that after the install. I love my headers though.

This is how I fixed my A/C to header potential contact:

Its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier to remove the battery box and have PLENTY room to remove or reposition the A/C holder. Here's how I got to mine with ease:

Easily done this way. LOL!!

My hands were beat up too but not that bad!

there are no fitmit issues with these or any of the headers, pretty much no one redesigned their header for the 15s as they fit fine, only the lead pipes are changed.

it's like a 30 second fix.

only thing that needs to be changed is the instructions to point it out for those that don't know.

and for those that know, there is no reason to not do it

I mentioned that to Geoff and he never responded.

Kooks header sits above that bolt and nut and does not cause an issue. Plenty of clearance. Or my engine is sitting higher than all the rest.

I just installed my sw headers and noticed this. Can this nut and bolt be taken out after the header is completely installed?

 

[beefcake]

Is this only a SW Header issue or is this a problem with all headers?

we do it on all the brands when we install

Yeah that's what I had to do, very tight!!!

People acting like this is some big fitment issue...lol

It literally takes less than a minute to remove that nut and bracket. Fitment on the SW/SP headers is perfect otherwise.
