Stainless Works headers Pt 2

Installing another set of headers on a 94, some of you know about the little project that has expoploded on every turn.... so this is going to be nothing new.


Driver side header, does not fit again! Pictures to follow up shortly.

I guess quality control is going down the tubes,get it.

Wow Jeff that sucks bro, right now i'm glad i'm not in your shoes.
I'm sure SW will take care of it,i hope.
Send them a gasket.
Let us know how it turns out.

Jeff:

Just so I'm clear, these are the same headers that this guy is selling?

The same guy that says, and I quote:
"THE BEST PART ABOUT THE SYSTEMS IS THAT THEY WILL ALL BE A BOLT ON ACCESSORY.

FITMENT WILL BE PERFECT AND NO TRIMMING OR TWEAKING WILL BE REQUIRED.

NO WELDING NOR MODDING WILL BE REQUIRED."

If I'm wrong, then I'll gladly delete this post.

I thought that's what high-temp RTV was for?

Just a thought, Why don't you hit the offending pipe with a torch and then massage it with a hammer? From the pics it seems that the solution is only a few good whacks away. + if the headers are quality SS, they should not split or get hurt from some minor clearancing.

Because I am not going to dimple a header that is going to require a 1/2 dimple. What's the point of having headers if part of the exhaust flow is obstructed. And if it does split, now where am I?
