Default Rubbing noise when turning left

Hey guys after I installed the long tube headers and the O/R y-pipe it seems like if my tires where rubbing against something. When I take off I heard like if the tranny was hitting the floor and when I turn left I could hear a loud noise like one of my tires rubbing against something. I have looked under the car and I cant find out whats rubbing. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Thanks

Ive noticed that the front passenger side tyre rubs the flexible lining when on full left lock on my '98. Saying that, I've not actually heard it, so its possibly not that...just a thought.

Mine did the same thing when I installed my LTs and it turned out to be the passenger side of the Y pipe, it hits the floorboard when you take off.
you can buy a special Ypipe hanger , or install polyurethane motor mounts so it doesn't bang.

My 17's on the front sound like they rub while making sharp left turns (at full lock or near full lock).

My car is a 1998, hrmm..

Do I have to take off the headers to install the motor mounts?
