FL-1A to long due to sway bar. How deep am I?

would like to know what it is going to cost me to straiten out my sway bar which seam to be the only solution. Though It looks quite strait. 2end question... Is it normal for my stock headers to be quite bent close to where it comes out of the motor?

Why straighten it out? Go to a junkyard and get one for like $5 bucks. If you are anywhere near Hamilton, NJ you can have mine.

Yeah sound like a simple cheap fix. It looks very strait, makes me confused

shoot, you can also look on ebay or the classifieds here or other places. I got a Kenny Brown front sway for $30 from a guy locally....

Yes, that's about normal for the stock headers. If you're on a budget, find some used BBK or FRPP shorties and replace them. Well worth it... Go ceramic if you have the cash.

Yeah new headers are certainly on the way soon..... the normal oil filter not fitting because of the sway bar.. Is there any other possible reasons other than the sway bar? My car had a minor crash on the left front side sometime before I baught it.
