3 sets of headers. none work
Heddman long tubes - major clearance issues
Hooker long tubes - even worse
flow tech shorties- passenger side has clearance issues. mechanics claim my wires would burn on that side. cant get a finger between the header and...the A/C??
Ill have to call them back. This is getting ridiculous. Please remind me to never buy headers for a 3rd gen
any suggestions?

Re: 3 sets of headers. none work
Maybe its your car?
I have ran hedmans on mine, many other have as well. A ton of guys use the hookers as well.
Flowtechs are on quite a few budget cars too.
Maybe your front has been tweeked from an accident in its past?

X2 I had to get all new wires with the 90 degree boots with my heddmans. Also I agree you should try your self doesnt take many tools lol I was intimidated at first but it was fairly easy after the seized exhaust bolts

Agreed...hedmans and hookers both slipped right in with 2 different motors over the years on 2 cars..no issues.
