Default Hookers Tuck up to much?

Quick question, I just installed my hooker headers and it almost seems like they tuck up to much. To where the top of the flange is touching the bottum of the car! i can take pics if needed. Is this normal?

its still time consuming. i think it took 4-5 hrs with a lift. it was my first header install too so if uve done it before then maybe quicker. if u havent done a tune up yet i would recomend doin 1 at this time. the plug wires tend to break a lot. i broke 1 of min so i just ordered a set of msd's and new plugs.
