I'm fully aware of bolting them up then setting engine down but i need to dent a tube to. Set down. The passenger side. Same with driver side but its difficult if header collectors hit the floor with the. Engine static, you quite physically can not bolt the on in any fashion like they are for a different car so although i don't mid porta powering them its still a 700$ set of nice headers that should fit way better, lowering the back of the trans will cause other issues, so he called tribal tubes to give them a shot which will choke some power but you have to have exhaust!

I didnt have to dent my headers or do any changes to them using the method of installing them as I described above. I got the front of the car really high on jack stands so that I could get lots of room and removed the items as I described above in order to gain clearance for them also.
