I don't know how our steering setup is, but assuming there's a ujoint inside, you could always remove everything from the firewall and oblong the holes out just a tad. You'll obviously want to make sure you tighten down your bolts with an impact after, so it doesn't slide any. That'll keep you from having to grind down your steering shaft or denting your new headers.
You could also just need new engine mounts. Even if that doesn't fit it, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to do anyways

How about loosening the steering column bolts and sliding it over a bit. That would be the first thing I tried.
Also just to point out again, that Every header shorties,mids or LTs, has issues regaurdless of brand.

Relocating? No. But doing exactly what this guy said, yes. Only I suggested oblonging the holes a bit so it would slide more, if simply loosening them wouldn't cut it.

to you as well 
The more you try to make me look stupid, the worse you come across in my eyes. And your trolling is getting kind of old too. Nice try on the 1/4" impact.
Whatever man, it just gets old seeing you trying to give expert advice all the time on subjects where you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe I just got tired of being quiet

I'm not trying to give expert advice. I'm trying to give advice that works. If I implied that I knew everything, I'd just go out and say "Since I know everything, you should do this". And yet, 2 posts later, someone offers almost the exact same damn thing I did, but there was no lame *** retort by you for his post. Which leads me back to you turning into a troll. So I'm thinking you should just go back to being quite.
