Default Tsp td

Alright so I need to know if there really was an fitment issues with the TSP TD's. I bought a summit racing universal x pipe kit and it sucks. Did any fabricating need to be done for fitment?

With our Texas-Speed true duals no fabrication is needed as long as your using TSP, Hooker, or Pacesetter headers.

Default Steering problems

I had my headers put on today (but not the pipes) and I noticed that when I specifically take right turns, the steering wheel grinds and gets somewhat tough to turn. This is the steering shaft hitting the headers right? Any insight ya'll can provide? Any way to fix this issue?

"clearance" it with a hammer and a piece of wood used as a punch.

IDK if it's just me, but I would have a hard time dimpling a brand new set of headers to make them "fit". I know it was common practice back in the day, but with the header designs available these days and knowing that there are many good brands that fit properly, I see no excuse for clearance issues on such a common bolt-on part in these cars.
