got 1 flange....they didn't do the cut I wanted. they took 1/8 off the short side instead of 1/4" so it would be a total of 1/8 thick on the cut side...I'm going to test fit it but i'm done with this ****. I'm 90% sure i'm sending these headers back and trying stainless works/speedtech. they make a 2" primary 3.5" collector but the price hurts.

almost 1,700...but by the time I make these ARH headers work I will probably have that much into them. this header business is getting old on this car.

I know they started it around 11 this morning because I got a video, they were just pulling it off the machine at 6:00 when I got there. stainless is a bitch I guess. i'm done dicking with it. should have sent the headers back a long time ago and bit the bullet on the stainless works/speedtech. overpriced but if they fit I don't give a ****.

You gotta pay to play...

Are they more than you would be in to these after the time, sweat, and beers trying to make them work?

what's the closest you would run the collector to the neutral safety switch? I could force this to work, but it only gives me about 3/4" between the collector and park neutral safety switch.
