2002RamAir, Don't panic. That's how they're made because of space constaints for catalytic converters. Get them in and have a blast.

Agreed, obviously. They are made that way due to the way our cars are built. Once they are installed, everything will be fine - you'll see. Like the man said, bolt them up, and have a blast!

(My 1 3/4" are the same way.)

They look just like mine. you wont believe how easy they are to install. I removed the steering shaft and they will slide right in. They fit like a dream and are easy to install. The pass side was tight but give them a push and they will slide in too. Atleast mine did.

wow i saw the thread title and thought this would be the first actual complaint against AR headers, but it turned out to be nothing!! I have yet to see one actual problem on this board with any of their products. I am so glad I went with ARH - I will be doing my install next week!
