Default warning! year one ls1 1st gen headers

the year one ls1 retro. headers for 1st gens do not clear the steering box. when i called year one to ask about the clearence problem, they just told me to hit the header with a hammer until it cleared. the reason they don't clear is because they used a car with rack and pinion as the modle for the headers ( but they wont tell you that). when i called to return the headers they were complete jackasses, they said that all the ls1 swap header had to be massaged and that i should just keep theirs. if your going to run headers on your ls1 swap go with street and performance (they clear with no problems).

Street and performance makes great headers and they will listen to what you need too. I kinda think there wiring harnesses are expensive and wish I went with someone else as the VATS was screwed even after they said it was reprogramed
