LT Headers Hitting Shift Linkage

[red98]

Hey man. What did you do to fix it? I am having the same issue on my K2500 TBI with Long Tubes.

Most likely torch + hammer, pretty tried and true way to make headers fit.

@mattski2114 was a one (day) and done. He hasnt been here since mid '21. You're not gonna get a response.

As for O.P., @91obsHD, it's been since Nov '20, so @mattski2114 never even got his own response...

However, if you're on the same situation, try as @Supercharged111 suggested and bust out a torch and a hammer

Fixes many woes. Or if it doesn't fix them, at least helps you get out some of the frustration.

Holy old thread Batman! Last summer I ended up clearancing a primary tube on my Z06. First I marked the offending portion while in the car then tapped on a socket extension to create the dent.

Before you could pretty much only slide a piece of paper between the steering shaft and the header tube. Around turns, the drivetrain would lean into the steering shaft. Very annoying and not super safe either. Now I have clearance for days, could have gone with an even more subtle dent. It didn't take much to move the mild steel.
