    headder fit problems

    I finally got my 4th gen camaro toghther this weekend it runs awesome but i do have a problem with my headders the first problem is the passanger side one is resting on the floor board. and my driver side one is hitting my steering shaft the band is pacesste long tube headders. has anyone else had this problem and what is the fix i think the headders are made wrong.

    What brand headers are they? You have lt1 or ls1? The only problem i ran into with my hooker longtubes was the driverside was rattling on the crossmember on the trans. had to have the pipe crushed slightly.

    Regarding the pass. side, you may have to remove the heatshield where the cat was. The drivers side you might have to loosed the jointed steering shaft and slide it up or down for clearance.

    I had a slight clearance issue on the pass side of my Camaro, but the drivers side fit just fine.

    Yeah.... good luck with the y pipe too, you will need a come along strap to pull the headers together to get y pipe to fit as well im sure... And they will also rott out in a years time. Not a big fan of the pacesetters on F-cars.

    yes i have remove the cat sheild on it it gave me a little cleance but when you hit bumper sometimes you can hear the pass side hit floor. and yes i also loosened the steering shaft so i could adjust it but it still is rubbing on the headder. this is a lt1 and the brand headders are pacesetter long tube headders. but the wired thing is the y pipe went on with no problems just sliped on?

    The y pipe is where i had rubbing issues on the drivers side. You had to have taken apart the motor mount to slide the headers in on the passenger side. Are you sure the bolt went back through the correct way, not sure if thats possible but you never no. i have heard the pacestter headers have some fitment issues.

    Newbie shit talker? Dont plague this forum with your nonsense, or you will be flirting with the ban hammer. I honestly dont want to waste my time reading your stupid newbie post... I see it now, soon you'll be posting in every thread trying to get your post count up, just so you look cool enough to have 2 cents to say. Turd.
