Ill go snap some pics of my clearance for him. But yea headers can be a real pain in the arse to get fitted at first, but I have had good luck, if you use the header for the right application.

the steering shaft was bending when the header was on. it wasnt just sitting against it. he said that it was nearly 2" too far over to fit. i opened the hood and revved the engine and it didnt move barely at all, so i dont know if its the mounts... are there any slimmer steering shafts i could buy to fit on? is it safe to grind down the shaft?

No, do not grind the shaft, wonder if they sent you NNBS headers by accident?

ok, well the clearance is tight on mines, and I did not have to bang or beat anything. So you have a issue here. I am able to still slide my car keys in between my steering shaft and header primary.

Was the frame damaged or altered in anyway? your steering shaft is the same, as mine, and mine is also a 01. I did break my steering shaft, so be careful, but a used one from a 99 at the junkyard to fit it perfect.

i dont believe the frame was altered at all. the shop i was at was an exhaust shop. im gonna take it to my normal guy tomorrow who said he could get an engine mount and take a look to see if its leaning and how it would compare to a new engine mount. im really hoping the engine is leaning because i really want these headers to fit!!!

thanks for all the pics everyone. like i said, tomorrow im gonna go see my normal mechanic and see what he thinks about them. maybe he can fix it and put the headers on as well. im really hoping that he can spot a problem and fix it. if these end up not working, im gonna see if LPP will let me exchange them (with money back to me) for their racing shorty headers. they should fit exactly where the stock manifolds were right? i know long tubes are much better, but some extra HP is better than no extra HP right? i was gonna do a cat delete with the shorties as well

got them things on yet dude?
