I just finished installing a pair of Headman shorty headers on my 90 Iroc and noticed that the header on the driver's side comes extremely close to the front crossmember. Is this normal with Headman headers, or did I recieve the wrong part? Also please note that the engine and tranny mounts are still in good condition if it makes a difference.

ya mine are like that, but maybe not that close, i just stared it up to see if hit but didn't, so see if it hits when the engine's running.

 

Same for mine. Once everything was all adjusted and bolted in though, they don't move hardly at all.

 

when i bought my car it had the hedman shorties. looked same as yours

 

You could try new motor mounts.
I had the same problem and I shaved a bit off the frame and the collector.

 

my flowtechs were just like that, i took a torch to it and beat it over a little... seemed to help. i could feel it hitting the subframe at idle before, man that drove me nuts

 

A new set of motor mounts can cure most fitment issues associated with shorty hedders tailored to our cars.
