So I bought a header used off H-T. Real nice and it's ALMOST a perfect fit. However when I bolt it up I have to do some pulling and my CAT with my O2 sensor actually starts to brush the shift linkage causing a pain in the *** when I shift to reverse.

Part II of my story when I don't bolt it up real tight and leave some space between the header and the CAT then the O2 sensor doesn't hit the shift linkage however I have a little gap large enough to make my exhaust sound like a 747.

My question: Anything I can do myself or should I take it to a muffler shop and let them fab something.

 

add a gasket maybe.

 

Yea for a quick fix im guessing another gasket or maybe a couple. Unless if your using a donut gasket.

 

id say just take it to a reputable shop. you dont want to be losing backpressure and power because of something as lame as that.

 

take it to a shop. its a 30 dollar fix!

 

Yeah it's a donut gasket (o-ring) on that side. I'll call up some shops tomorrow and see where we're at. Thanks for the input everyone.
