Default QTP headers,

Since i got them installed, sometimes when i am turning it sounds like something is rubbing or knocking could it be the headers hitting the steering arm? what can i do about that?

most likely the passenger side hitting the k member, a lot of people file the k member down a little for clearance.

or you could go the expensive route and take off 40lbs or so of front end weight by going with a tubular k member.they advertise to make lots of extra header room. im going to eventually get one...just alil $$ + not at the top of my list for things to do to my car.

Yeah, check the #2 cylinder primary tube clearance to the K-member. I bet that' s it. Is it only when you make left turns? If so, I' ve had that problem and just grinded the K-member up a but, and was fine. I really didn' t want to at first, but I couldn' t wait to get them on there ;D
