I got to cut something ... can I ?

The passenger side collector touches on the k member. Kinda of.

It is hitting on the "clip" that is used for a nut, understand ? The K member bolts screw into clips not nuts. It hits this clip. Not sure if I can get a nut on top so I was thinking about torching the "U" part of the clip off.

Besides just being a bitch to remove that K member bolt later if needed. Do you think it'll lead to any troubles. The header might still move the 1/8" over and touch the actual K member after I cut the clip and give it the opportunity.

Invest in a tubular K-member

Not so sure what you want to cut without a picture but as long as the clip still clears those threads... you should be alright. Then again parts are meant to fit with-out cutting sh*t apart. Pictures would help though.

I'll try to get some pics.

I've been trying to get to my buddy's garage to use his pit, but his mom passed away last week. I want to check on my clearances while the car is still sitting normal, not jacked up on one side and all twisted.
