What do you do when there's intereference between the #3 pipe and upper control arm bracket? It needs about 1/4" - 1/2" to prevent from vibrating a hole in the pipe. This is on the passenger side btw.

 

top, 3 in.

 

Well, if they weren't so "purty" - I might recommend hammer mods - but
I wouldn't want to see them dented - and they're not even mine !!

They are definitely for your specific application?

If so, I'd have to consider sending them back.

 

Yep, numbers match.
I was thinking of using a c-clamp to push in the one side slightly. 1/4" might do it.
but I'm wondering what that would do to the ceramic coating.
I'm running out of time so I have to make do.

 

Have you called the manufacturer?

 

you may be able to loosen the engine mount bolts and reposition the engine over 1/4 inch, not too hard

 

I will say this, over the 4 sets of BBK headers I have owned every single set had to be massaged with a few blows from a BFH. They have horrid QA.
