how long will these headers take?

I just drove the car uP north and now I feel like the headers are rubbing on the body somewhere. At idle you can feel the car idle rough even tho I think it idles the same, you can just feel it worse. Can't really feel anything while driving just idle.

What do you mean leveled up? I marked the kmember and put that back in where it was, but just set the motor back in and bolted it down.

the holes in the k member are slotted so you can adjust where the engine sits. It has to sit level side to side once you bolt it back in. with the holes slotted, you can have one side higher than the other which would make the header on the highest side closer to the floor or k member
