Default Headers and Ypipe clearance issues.

I have been having a long on going problem with the headers and y pipe hitting the car. How can I re-adjust the headers? They touch so bad that it actually shakes the car at 1700 rpm when I place the car in PARK in the shop. Motor mounts are fine, tranny mount is brand new.

I know that heating them to relocate them will be impossible next to the fuel lines.

??? You mean relocate the y pipe right? As far as I know there is no way the relocate the headers. you could try adjusting the CB, over the axle tube, this might allow the y to hang lower, other than that, I knew the PS Y had issues, that is why I went with the TSP, any pics?

If I had more time I would have taken them when the car was on the lift, but it might be harder to the pic on the jack stands, I'll see what I can do.

I heard the same thing about the Ypipes hitting too...
