I don't understand what moving the motor is going to accomplish. The spread between the headers is about two inches shorter than the spread between the H-pipe ends. I think I'm going to take some measurements and have my local muffler shop do some bending on the H-pipe.

this is why its bestto leave things loose, get everything to fit then tighten it all down. meaning if it helps loosen up the headers then bolt up the h-pipe loosely, tighten the headers then the h-pipe.

Nope, it's a BBK problem. And many have had this problem. Torch and a BFH usualy works.

That's what I was thinking. Like I said, these things are made in jigs to assure the same dimensions for every unit made. So how the hell do I get one that is so far off the mark whether it be the headers or the H-pipe. Damn this pisses me off!! And I can't see leaving the headers loose at the heads. That sounds like possible flange damage when you go to tighten them down.

BBK's jigs have been proven to be completely off. I have heard of people getting BBK to send them replacements, but they are still made in the same jigs. It it were me, I would try and get my money back and go MAC. MAChas a better fit andis almost equal to BBK in cost.

That doesnt sound very encouraging to a potential BBK customer. I have been pouring over the forum for info on what brand headers and h pipe to go with and so many of you have recommended BBK. Now i am not so sure. I would also think that every application should measure the same. And I would not leave the headers loose when putting the exhaust system together. Sounds like a good way to twist a header flange out of shape and create a leak. But thats a must for the rest of the system while assembling it.

i had the same problem with my old set up, heddman headers and heddman h pipe i had to heat it up with a torch and beat the living **** out of it with a BFH. couple of weeks ago i switched to mac h pipe and hedders they fit perfect!

Single flange headers>>>>>>>>>>&gt ;>>>>x a bajillion than multi flange

I have used 3 different bbk setups and have never had this problem. Did you buy the stuff new or used?

Luck with the bbk headers and exhaust setup is not very good, I know plenty of people including myself who had issues with their (High quality) parts lining up... tsk tsk, you think for the money you pay for the parts they would at least come close, its actually ridiculous!
