^ Are you using the aje crossmember and what tranny is that? By the looks of the pics it looks easy to put exhaust on with that crossmember. If so I am ordering one today

I contacted Greg since this had me concerned ever since I read about the fitment issues. Good thing that my headers are still in the box. So I'm going to ship the driver's side header and they will take care of EVERYTHING! That's what I call customer service! Thumbs up for the Dynatech folks!

I just got around to installing mine...The driver sider header I can't even get into the engine bay. Did you guys have to take the motor mounts off and jack the engine up to get the drivers side on?

you have to pull the steering shaft and the header goes in from the bottom.

I have a glide

Ok I looked at it again. The second to the last tube hits the a-arm on the way up, and down towards the collector one of the tubes is hitting the oil filter. If I take out the oil filter I would have some more room.

I had to bend mine a little to get them away from the header. No big deal took 30 seconds.

I was having so much trouble with it clearing the motor mount part of the k-member. I wonder if my k-member is different from the newer ones. I did my swap in 2003-04...well the headers are on thats all that counts. All this trouble for a powerglide..
