Hooker 2210 clearancing?
I read Traxion's sticky post. Last night my dad and I got both the headers in. It took about 3 hours max. Now we clearanced the drivers side control arm mount, it fits fine. The pass. side where the slip tube connects is BARELY touching the a-arm mount, but in a different location. Is there any way to get around this without hacking up any more of my car? Another primary tube just grazes the underside weld of the k-member. I descided not to grind this for structural issues. Is there anyway to get around my main problem??

I did clearancing like you and I did some on the passanger side as well but I noticed that one of the tubes was still a little too close on the passanger side so I took a 2 foot pry bar and rested the wide tip between the frame and the tube. I very carfully hammered the pry bar between the tube and frame making sure I made NO dents in the tube as I was doing this.
if you are real carful like me you wont dent the tube since they are soft enough to dent real easy they are soft enough to bent slightly as well. (we are talking about a 1/8"- 1/4"max of bending which a primary that long is not asking much.
