so does my header.

It dosent matter. Just get the doughnut that fits and the flange for the doughunt and it will compensate.

i would never call the dc jdm 4-1 header a race header..... im just wondering if there is any mount kits out there that dont angle the motor so far forward that the header angles up almost 45 degrees

?? 45 degrees, do you even know how much that is? So your intake manifold must be though the hood if your engine is sitting at 45 degreese too much from stock?

sorry man

Alright what is outa place here? How does the oil pan sit? Level? If its level than you dont want to fix the header problem by tipping the engine backwards.

My hasport mount kit made it so that my JG header wont fit. However I hope to receive my jimfab crossmember soon which will hopefully fix this situation.

I dont think he wants to do this.
I suggest getting a new mount kit from hasport, they changed it a while back and I think that was one thing that they fixed

i did have a problem with, my dc jdm 4-1 header hitting my jimfab bar. going from a set of hcp mounts, to the hasport mounts i noticed that the hasport mounts do raide and tilt the engine forward more than the hcp mounts. i had to go back to my hcp mount kit, becuse i was not going to take off my jimfab bar! if it's a mount kit that you need, to keep the engine as leveled as posible get an hcp mount kit. good luck
