    Anyone have issue with after market headers not clearing struts??

    I just got around to installing my European Racing headers (GT Racing) on my 3.2.
    Everything went smooth as this was bolted down a few days ago. Today I was
    adjusting the suspension i.e. bolting up the struts when I noticed it was not going to
    clear. Slight rub without load the other thing I noticed is the one collector was very close to the oil cooler line.
    Anyone have any experience with this??




    Cheers
    John

    The angle of the dampers will change when the car is on the ground. Do they rub then?

    Thanks for the help, I thought of that and compressed the suspension with a jack stand
    still no luck.

    As we have a habit of building gravel rally cars it always helps a good plan to check for clearance at full droop and at full compression.
