header problem need help!!! So i recently bought a set of flowtech headers... after i get the passanger side header installed i start putting everything back together when i notice the drivers side header is hitting my K memeber... not that big of a deal so i notch the k member out a little.. then i come to a HUGE problem... there is AT MOST a inch of room between the o2 bung and the frame... u cant even come close to putting the o2 in... what the hell should i do... i really dont want to take it back out and go through all the bullshit of putting it in again... any suggestions would be great thanks guys

i was thinking about doing that.... but another problem i found is when the motor is reved the header hits the floor.... talked to flowtech and they told me they had some problems with a few sets of headers.... told me to pretty much send them back where i bought them and get them exchanged..

i had the same issue with my flowtechs back in the day.. I just ended up deleting my 02 sensors in the tune.. Your car will run fine without them for a few days until you can get it tuned... But yea there was no room in there..
If you are impatient, you could take the header to a shop that has a real nice mandrel bender and get them to bend it into shape. However, if Flowtech told you to send em back, that's gonna be your best option. You just have to be a little more patient with the second option, good luck.....
