Re: hedman headers hit frame on both sides

I dont know how it's hitting the frame on the passenger side, mine doesn't. The driver's side needs a BFH'ing to the primaries and a small part of the control arm perch trimmed off.

I'm no expert on exhaust, but from what I've read, maybe your motor mounts are worn out. If they are, when you replace them, it should slightly raise the engine enough for the headers to fit.
