SLP headers clearance Q

Do any of you have collector clearance probs with SLP 1 5/8 headers? The passenger side collector hits the body or the frame no matter which way I turn the collector flange. I was thinking of griding part of the eats off the flange. Any one else have this prob?

Wow, you're the first person I've heard have problems with the 1 5/8" headers. My first guess would be your motor mounts are shot, and your engine is tilted.
