like every other person that has had that problem (including me) it's actually the Driver side.! actually what I read from hear, a few people put a Jack to the floor board or slightly lowering the car onto a Jack stand (Right above the indentation of the exhaust ypipe). Some thought it to be a terrible idea but I found it work very well. my only solution actually. "No more Clunking"

Guys, I have these headers on both my 95 T/A manual trans, and on my 95 Z28 auto. I had issues with the drivers side on the Trans am, but I'm having issues on the passenger side on the z28.
And yes, I installed new motor mounts along with the new motor.
No one else has issues with the pass side near the collector y pipe connection?

personally I don't see why it would matter from auto to manual. but now that you say it I do remember noise on my passenger side. Although it was a lighter noise, more like tinging&pinging. sure enough I think it was the header & heat shield. I could see them touching from above looking through the engine bay. I didn't feel like taking my exhaust back down so I just shoved some exhaust wrap between all contact points at the firewall/header. never heard it again.

I Forgot one more possible problem lol. more so another clunking noise I had was the exhaust resting on the tunnle brace. w What I did was 2 flex pipes in my ypipe. Less stress on exhaust & so It won't slam into the brace. I also wrapped the tunnle brace with heater hose to cushion the blow (if so). I guess I'm good at rigging lol
