Header issues
i bought a pair of headman headers and its seems like the passenger side header is not allowing to make good mating connection with the head after bolts have been snugged firmly, due to the mounting bracket for the leaf spring... any help would be very useful

Re: Header issues
Headers are a pita, In your case I would try to put a big long pipe in the collector and pull the other end of it the other way using some ratchet straps or a come along. while banging the header around a lil' I must say though the ball flanges on the hedmans are great and really help out with sealing angled pipes. I've never had a fit problem with hedmans either

Re: Header issues
After looking at the header itself the mating surface is bent outwards preventing it from seating... I called headman and they are sending another pair.
