slp headers burn my wires

Well my 1 3/4 slp headers keep burning wires behind the header (not ignition wires) It burns the negative battery cable and the fan switch. My question is what other wires are behind the headers. How to i prevent these wires from burning?

You're gonna have to tie the wires down to something. If that doesn't work out, wrap them in insulation.

just put hooker shorties on did the same thing car died in a intersection battery cable hit y pipe pull it down bend the turminal towards frame on starter zip tie to brake line
now my question is i got a bad miss fire after install had to have a shop put the plugs in they didnt have 90 so they cut the wires and put 90 boats on so u think the ones they cut might be gettting bad sparks, I order new taylors tonight with 90 boats but i dont think summit delievers on sat so it looks it will wait for monday if u think this might be it or something else
