I put headers and true duals on my car and now I have some kind of weird rubbing noise or something that sounds like it is coming from the right front of the car when I am coming to a stop or making extremely slow sharp turns... Wtf?!

Bump!!!

Did you check the clearance between the steering shaft and the headers?

Steering shaft would be driver's side wouldn't it?

check the clearances for the header, one of mine was rubbing on a heat shield. It drove me nuts, I spent at least two evenings chasing that noise. Good luck.

Yep, but noises can be hard to pinpoint. I was focusing on your slow turning description.

Generally, coming to a stop and doing slow turns is shifting the weight. On the right side you have clearance to the frame rail, clearance to the heater hoses, heatshields, etc. The best first step is look them over very closely with good lighting, tap and shake the system from underneath and see if you can locate a rubbing spot.

Oh ok... See it had me thinking maybe torque converter going out? I still have the factory one right now... And it doesn't seem to do it as much once it gets warmer? Or maybe just coincidence... I am stumped! I will try to get it on a lift somewhere and see what I can find...Thanks guys... Any more input would be great
