ARH header install issue
ARH header install issue I figured id repost this locally so maybe someone around me could take a look to see what they think about this:
I have a set of ARH 1 7/8" race style long tubes headers going on my car. I have the drivers side header installed and it went in smooth as could be. The passenger side header on the other hand is giving me problems.
I have the starter out of the car and had previously had the engine tab ground off so I know these aren't the issue. The car has never been involved in an accident so I know thats not one of the problems either. I have a 2 post lift so I have the car plenty high enough.
The header gets "stuck" going in, one way it hits the bellhousing where the starter bolts up or hits the K-member when I turn it another way. I have tried to wiggle it in but its been to no success.
any ideas or anyone else have this issue?

Have you tried the following? Get a trans jack on the trans, and pull the bolt on the mount. While someone is gently using a pry bar to slightly push the trans to the drivers side, try and slip the header in. Should give you enough room to slide the header in.
I dunno about ARH,
But I have some jet hot (hookers on my car) and i had to pry the motor a little. Had to do the same on a c5 w/ kooks.
I know somebody must have a couple writups on the boards floating around about how they installed them and what difficulties exist.

thanks guys for the response.
a quick grind on the bellhousing and the header went in with no issues. Anthony at ARH was great to deal with and very willing to help with any issues, would recommend them for future purchase.

Yeah I plan to upgrade to their 1 7/8's at some point as well.
