Default Ac doesnt fit because of header. need help!

I tried to install the ac on my 2000 honda civic si but it wouldnt fit because of lack of clearance due to ebay header. is there a way to get around this or going back to stock is the only option? Thanks in advance

Some headers are not AC friendly, as you just found out. That kept me away from the big boys for a long time. There are some good headers that are AC friendly...I have an old-school DTR 4-2-1 that fit with the AC just fine.

Get something besides the eBay header something with some r&d behind it most will state weather ac and ps will fit with them if they don't its kinda a gamble

I have a 99 si and I have some DC headers on mine, AC fits with lots of clearance.

Honestly, wait it out until you can buy some good headers. If you care about carb legal headers, then go for the DC headers. If you don't get these http://www.ebay.com/itm/RMF-style-B-...5debf0&vxp=mtr

Ebay headers crack all day.
