OBX Longtube Header Problem
Hey guys,
I just put on my OBX longtube headers and everything went smoothly except the fact that the primaries are right up against the frame on both sides. That wouldn't bother me so much, but it rattles so bad the rear view mirror is shaking. Thinking about taking them off and going with something else, but before I did that, I thought I'd see if anybody had any suggestions on how to fix the problem instead. Can a muffler shop heat and bend them or something? I saw there was a problem with these, but thought it was just with 4x4's. Do the pacesetters have any fitment issues? Thanks for your help. Tim

My pacesetters fit great. Maybe try dinging them in on that spot with a hammer to clearance them a little. You might could do it on the truck, heat it up with a torch and them use a pry bar to bend it in some.

This might sound kind of red neck but I put some of the Aem headers on my truck not long ago and the header barley hit the frame on the drivers side. So I used a come along or power puller (what ever you want to call it) and hooked one end to the opposite frame rail and one on the header and was able to ratchet it off the frame by a half a inch. Worked like a champ.
