i got a 98 gsr just went to put my 4 to 1 dc sports header in and the back 2 bolts dont align and the pipes r up against the oil pan but it bolts up fine to the head. i called dc and the part #s matched. has anyone else had this problem before?

 

did they try to tell you "well, it's supposed to be a tight fit?" i had a problem like that with my AEM Cold Air Intake, and it's in my car, boy is it in there, and it's never coming out! It leans up against my A/C lines in my engine. But yea, i can see how you might have a problem....figures...

 

sounds like you got a b16 header

 

i dont feel like taking it out and returning it cause its already in and it was a bitch to get in ill see how it is when i start it tommrrow. is it bad to have it up against the oil pan

 

Yes it's bad to have it touch the oil pan. Are you talking about the 2 bolts on the bracket underneath the car? You might just need to finagle it a little bit to make it fit.

 

ya those bolts its not possable to get them to fit

 

Do those bolts first, then bolt it to the head...that's how I had to do it.

 

cant do it cause the header hits the oil pan and wont go up just misses by a 1/2 inch

 

Get a shop to mandrel bend it for you just a bit at an angle so it will make it? ;p
