I just installed my qtp's and I have the same fitting issue. I tried calling today and was put on hold for about 15min (which I eventually hug up). Could someone please pm me about this.
I just installed my qtp's back in June with ZERO problems, stock motor mounts at 95k and almost no y pipe hitting, headers dont touch anything! When I installed them they slipped right in, especially the pass side. love these headers.

I have had no luck contacting QTP by phone. I tried twice on Monday and 3 times on Tuesday. All that happens is the phone rings and rings, nobody answers and apparently they dont have voicemail.
I am going to try again today, but this is the last straw. If I can't get a hold of them today I am selling and going with another brand.

I am sorry to hear this guys. I just removed my QTPs due to the driver side collector leaking horribly where the primaries are welded in (not completely welded on QTPs) and contact with the frame that drove me nuts. I also had their shitty ******* y-pipe and after a year of living with their ******* headers, I just bit the bullet and bought/installed ARH headers and y-pipe. Easiest header and y-pipe install with zero fitment issues. I really wished I had gone the ARH route the 1st time around, it would have saved time and money. I know this doesn't really help those that already have the QTP headers, however I hope it dissuades someone else from buying QTPs. Their customer service sucks donkey ***** to boot, way to stand behind your products ********. Good luck gentlemen, hope you are able to resolve your issues.

hmm reading all this makes me want to buy an aftermarket K-member along with whatever headers I eventually get, has anybody installed one on their car? Is it worth it? I'd like to make my car as light as possible and with an aftermarket k you wont have any clearence issues no matter what brand headers you go with right?
the quality control at qtp is less then desirable imo. some of the headers fit great. i have installed a few sets. mine rub the steering knuckle and the pass side k member. as well as hang very low on the driver side. stainless moves a lot when it gets welded is all i can think of but still its a little ridiculous to me as most other vendors and produce consistant results with fitment.
I have qtp headers and y pipe on my 2001 SS it has only 54,000 miles never been wrecked and has had subframes in for a long time. Has the original mounts. Mine dropped right in and I have plenty of clearance. ( I can fit my fingers between the pipe and k frame) My car has lowering springs and I have a good amount of ground clearance. Ill try n post some pics, maybe itll help.
