None other than I missed seeing that bracket , you can't see it from under the car, and easy to overlook.

Other than that, everything fit great

Great job on the install! Looking forward to hearing it when you get the bracket issue squared away.

Which shop? I'm in the area...

High PSI Performance in Harker Heights. They installed ARH headers on my 17 and did a great job. They have a Dyno too if you want a before and after. Keep in mind this pricing was in 2017. Hopefully it's not too much more now.

Can you provide a picture of the bracket? I think I have the same noise.

I already cut it off but I still rattle at acceleration. I'll need to clearance it with a dolly

Something i hadnt considered, a buddy of mine is a ford tech who did headers on his mentioned to me that a few things to look at as far as tightening up, after first few rides. He also reminded me that, loosen the top nut on the motor mounts and shove the engine over.


I add this info in, to add as much info as I can. The forum has been quite helpful for me.

This is the tool I used to cut that stud. I am accepting pre-orders, NOW. Get yours today

Thanks @PC_GUARD

Ok here's the update.

I had to adjust one of the midpipes to give clearance.

Adjusted drivers side collector coupler, and shoved the engine hard to drivers side. All usual lth stuff, especially when you're on your back.

The fit is excellent, zero issues. My exhaust setup sounds sorta stock until you're spinning 7k rpms

Clips tomorrow after a bath

Anyone doing LT headers on the ground the correct way to do this is. Secure and lift the engine from above. This way you can remove both motor mounts and starter. You will have plenty of room
