Looking for pics of TSP headers installed I plan on installing some 1 3/4" TSP headers + ORY along with some Prothane motor mounts. I am wondering if anyone has any pics of their TSP 1 3/4 headers installed? I have read some threads about them hitting the steering shaft and hitting k members. Anyone have pics to show how either you solved these problems or showing how nicely they actually cleared these items?
that issue that you are talking about is with the TSP 1 7/8 headers and they just barely touch the steering shaft knuckle. you will have no issues with the 1 3/4 headers.
I can tell you I just installed my 1 3/4" headers and I thought it was going to be a huge pain in the a$$ and it was about a 30 second install. It is literally the easiest header to install that I've ever put in. I do recommend that you pop the steering shaft out (gives you a ton of room, takes like 2 mins) and you jack the car up about 2 feet. If you do that you will literally have no problems installing them. The only thing I don't like is it looks like it is touching the k member a little bit which may cause a rattle but I am not sure as I haven't got to drive the car since I have been redoing alot of other things.

Yep mine hit k member, I cut a slit about 1/2 around the colecter with a hack saw and, pulled the end down about 1" and still had good ground cleance then welded the slit up, spray paint with some cheep crome paint, wraped my headers with headed wrap, been good for about 11-12 years, still no problems

PS: I do not remember if they are 1 3/4 or 1 7/8
