Not definite, but it can happen. Sounds like some grinding is in order.

If it's only banging on the tunnel, just loosen all the clamps and pull down to give more tunnel clearance, and retighten clamps.

If it's banging elsewhere, then Orange suggested pics.

Yes its the passenger side, and I see where they get close on the tranny side, but my number 1 primary hits my K-member just barely. I never hear it or feel any vibrations. I just loosen all my header bolts last night and pushed the header up and tightend them back down, no success yet. Hopefully when I get the exhaust pipe welded into the Y-pipe I will push up some. Clearance is tight and I dont want to make something else rub.


I will try to take some pictures tommarrow night.

It ran really really strong tonight. Very impressed, still , with these headers.
