Exhaust and Steering Column Has anyone had problems with aftemarket Headers coming in contact with the steering column? I have Mac Mid-Length headers and sometimes I can feel vibration on my steering wheel. When I look under the hood I can see where the header has touched the steering column and worn the black paint off of it in two spots. 
1. Is this a problem w/aftermarket headers?
2. If so, which brands are know to do this?

I did an engine swap (v6 to v8) and had to get a v8 steering rack and v8 steering coupler to clear the #1 tube on my Mac's.
Even so, I had to adjust the steering coupler out to the end of it's range. (there's a slotted hole in the column, that the coupler bolts to.)

What coupler are you talking about? There were two joints that I could see from the top. One way down, and one pretty visable up top right before the steering column goes into the firewall. If this is the one, I can get to it pretty easy. I see how you could adjust this, but I didn't want to go and adjust the wrong thing.
