wtf ?????HELP ASAP after installing my pacesetter long tubes my steering linkage is hitting my headers why is that ?? the last long tubes i had on my car i didnt have this problem ANY IDEAS ???
no idea... i have pacesetters on mine and never had this issue... i say just check the way everythings welded together.... maybe your exhaust is offest to that side so much when it got welded together the header got pulled that way a lil bit... just an idea.

i second that the last thing you want to do is screw the sterring linkage up just to install headers. return them and tell them they dont fit maybe you got a bad set or the wrong year?

either way those headers should have never hit ur linkage there is something wrong with the header design or maybe bent linkage if its not the linkage then u need to call pace and get new header

the painted long tubes did before but it melted off and fit fine its actually hitting the linkage itself rotating bar that connects to the rack and pinion and steering column

Yea, so basically the same headers. You could've just cut off the emissions provisions or welded a plate on it.
Example for 97-01 Vettes, other than the angle of them for picture, look at the difference.
"Race"
Emissions
Conlusion: There is no reason they should hit and you wasted some money
