I installed a race header yesterday and i have a prob. the bracket that holds the flex pipe and stock cat doesnt reach far enough back for the new header to reach it. the header is about 1-2 inches farther back.
any info?

there is a triangular plate holding the back 2 tubes one the front of the header, also the palce where the flex and header meet is 1.5 inches from the bolt area.

Ok...it doesn't mount at the rear bracket. There are the two bolts that the header mounts to...at the top of that bracket, bolted to the frame at two more bolts. loosen them and you should have enough play in the bracket to get the header to line up...secure the header to the bracket...then bold it back to the frame...this is how i got my ORP to fit better (it never really fit right
)

good luck...hope this helps
