Parking brake questions

I was wondering why headers get in the way of the parking brake. Which brake does the parking brake go to on third gens?

We bought the formula in the sig with headers, and the guy said they would not clear the headers. So we have no brake on that car.

What the guy was trying to say is "I tried doing my own brake job once and couldn't figure out how to hook up the parking brakes so I didn't fix it"

The guy you bought the car from is an idiot. The e-brake starts right below the lever on the console and goes backwards to the rear axle.

Here's a shot of the adjuster from underneath my car. Those 2 cables on the ends of the bracket in the middle go to BOTH the right and left rear wheels:
