Default TSP Headers issue

I'm planning on buying the 1 7/8th headers from TSP. My car is pretty much stock except for SLP lid and borla cat back. I have only been hearing fitment issues on these new headers. Is there really a problem with it hitting the steering column or did it just happen to one guy and now it is a problem?

Well I've seen it happen to three guys now... But from what I understand you should be okay as long as the stock mounts are used and they're not too worn.
