installing dc header on 5g. The bracket that mounts to the studs is welded instead of using an adjustable clamp like oem . I can't clear the block at the radius to give me room to clear the studs. Any one who has experienced this please advise.

 

Yes this does suck... I was soo pissed off i just bent the bracket enough so i could install the header... Then took the car down to my speed shop to get it bolted up properly... I dont know why DC made it that way but if u cant bolt up the bracket then just get them on and take it to a exhaust shop... It shouldnt cost you much if anything at all... It only tok my place like 10 mins once they got it on the lift...

 

Thanks dude. You can bet dc will be hearing from me bright & early monday a.m.

 

Yea i dont know why they made the header that way... There is no way in hell though any person doing it themselves could bolt that thing up... Let me know how it turns out though...

 

You should just fight for a refund, return it and get a good header, DC headers make almost non-existant gains on H22s

 

I bent the bracket and everything bolted up nicely. What I didn't do was order new manifold nuts before I started . Ordered 'em yesterday. Thanks for the help.
