All those with QTP longtubes I just had these installed and i was looking at the passenger side primary on the #2 and I noticed that all the other primaries have started to turn a golden tint due to the exhaust heat other then the #2 cylinder which still looks the way it did be4 it was installed. so i started looking around and noticed that there seems to be no space for spark plugs with these headers i really think my wire is not making a good connection on the plug but it is very tight in between the primary and the block. Has anyone one else noticed this?

I just went outside and noticed that my old headers where acually doing this same thing. I know they had the spark plug on with a good connection....could i be looking at a fuel injector issue maybe? cause it seems like the spark is there

Are you throwing any codes?
I wouldn't worry too much about it if your car is running strong, #2 is in the front and gets plenty of "air flow" after the rad. I'd read the plug. Take it out and see if it's different than the others. It should be brown if it's running ok, black means rich, white lean, anything else like oil encrusted means worse.
If you find your mileage isn't there, it's showing up on a dyno as weak, or your getting detonation or other tell tale signs, then I'd worry.
