first pic is before grinding it down, look towards that tiny gap at the bottom, yea thats all teh room. when i get under the car to take some pics u will see hey could have moved it over 1/2 in without a problem. this is the only complaint i have about these

The second car, I took the plugs out and shoved the header up. It was much easier than messing with the motor mount bolts. On the EGR tubes, cut them off and put a little weld where the hole is or jsut buy some block off plates. Another thing, I can't believe that you had to grind on the frame to get these to fit, mine fit great, they hit the K-member on a right hand turn but that is it
