ARH headers... is this common?
ARH headers... is this common? I just bought my car which already had ARH LT's installed. I went to do the oil change and noticed there is no way in hell to fit a socket over the drain plug.. the driver side header is just too close. I had to use a wrench which wasnt a big deal but then the oil just spilled all over the header. Which again wasnt a big deal either, but I was curious if this was a common thing with ARH design? On my old car the Pacesetter header were nowhere near as close as the ARH is to the oil drain plug. The only thing via search I found was the thread below... but if this is a common thing I expected to see a lot more posts about it.

Right. Im not trying to say its a problem here, after it drains for like 10 secs it doesnt go on the header anymore... I just want to understand if this is normal for ARH... thats all. I just find it odd I havnt really seen any threads about this at all, except the one I posted.
I'm lost? I get to the filter and drain fine. Can even get the starter in and out, some you can't and have loosen the header or take the motor mount out.

OK I read this thread a few times but still not sure. Is the "problem" that when the oil is draining it flows on the header tube at 1st?
And you can't get a socket and have to use a wrench on the drain plug. Is that it?

You'd be pretty surprised. I think both are great headers. I'm assuming your confidence comes from first hand experience with both brands?

I found my LT's/Catted Y on craigslist for $500. I love these stainless tubes but at the same time for the price I would have paid for these ARH LT's & CattedY new, I could have bought the TSP equivalent to my LTs, TSP Y or TD's & a nice catback & n'used LS6 Intake mani ............
I just wasnt satisfied with how few ppl actually posted in that thread. I figured there must be hundreds of people running ARH but it doesnt look that way.
