just installed my stainless long tube headers and the driver side header is rubbing on a metal rod on the K-member it goes from back where the A-arm bushings are located to the front of the k-member it is held in place by two bolts does this piece matter as far as being support on the K-member or can i just remove it?

mark where its hitting, take it off put it in a vice and bend it slightly, then open the holes a bit.... youll be fine... You could also take it off but if it were me, id try to make it fit..

I would just remove it. I don't think my car even has that?!

You would only need to bend it about half an inch, would take like 3 minutes. I'd leave it there if you can find a way around it just to be safe

Mine has that bar, maybe it's a vert only thing. My ebay headers also hit it, I put a 1/4" washer on the front side and bent the bar just enough to clear.

Yeah I think I'm just going to remove thanks for the help and I do think it's a vert thing.

you having a vert, you have all weird kind of little stabilizer bars and **** on your K-Member. Prob just bend it or take it off really. I have OBX headers as well and the steering shaft hitting on the pipe was my issue.

I have those four braces, the are 2 in front, 2 in back...YES, I have a vert but mine didnt hit my headers....but to make it easier I unbolted mine during install.

Wayfastwhiteyaz

Well I fixed the problem with the stabilizer bar and I'm still rubbing the four primary tubes coming down in between the k-member on the driver side are still rubbing looks like i could cut the k-member so they could clear but should I just try something else instead of hacking away at it? It's a let down on all the hard work it took to get them in there and now I have problems:/

this is common with ebay headers...most of people with them have the same issue. how bad does it touch? you could try and massage the K member..
