That's just weird to me. For myself, it was the passenger side that just slid in and out no problem. It was the driver's side I had to finnagle a little bit.

Well all headers are designed different so that could explain this.

Car sounds great now, only thing is I have a vibration under the car. I think it's time for motor/trans mounts. I didn't have the cash to do it all at once but I don't mind pulling crap apart again, especially since headers save you a ton of time.

This is how high i had my car during my install. Can't be too safe. 2 pairs of jackstands, the jacks, and rear wheels chocked. As mentioned before, shake the car to make sure nothing is moving around. Because when you start wiggling the exhaust around and pounding on the car to get them to fit, the car could shift.
