does anyone have issues with their headers coming way too close or even touching the spark plug wires on the driver side. i have a set of long tubes, not sure of the brand, but to get to my spark plugs i have to remove the header on the driver side. what gives. soo annoying.

you dont cut premade exhaust parts, good luck making them leakproof now. i put in my bbk longtubes without cutting anything, just jacking the motor up and shaking them in like hell.

if they are just leaking from the gasket then try sandwiching 2 gaskets together with gasket maket or try some expensive aluminum gaskets
wrong!!!!^^^^^^^^^^some mis-info there^^^^^^^^^^ the flowtechs are made that way to do that...hmmm how would I know??? got 'em on my 85..I don't reccommend them but hind sight is 20/20[:@]
sorry for misinform but then y the hell would you pay to get headers that you have to cut? bbk's work just fine and u dont have to waste your time cutting something, doesnt make any sense to me. maybe there is some benefit that i am not understanding.
Not all people feel like spending time undoing motor mounts and jacking the motor up and removing the steering shaft...none of which I had to do!!! also cost has a lot to do with influence of choice...understand now???
