Header Rubbing Problem
Ok, well i have an issue. Its not big by anymeans. but its very annoying.
My passenger side LT's rub the body of the car! For like a month, i thought it as my passenger suspension going out because there was so much squeaking and some small vibration on the left side, but then i realized it was the damn header. with every single vibration of the engine, it taps up against the body and rubs. it squeaks like none other lol It literally has like a mm of clearence, something that i've never noticed before. on the drivers side, it has about a full inch or more of clearance. There is nothing i can do but dent the headers in which i refuse to do. Are the are a special kind of engine mount that i can use to get rid of this issue? From what i'm told, the 99-04 gt's have 3 different locations where the k member bolts up to the body, and i guess i got unlucky with the position where it sets the engine closer to the passenger side.

Solid motor mounts will make the entire car shake. If you don't want to beat up the headers with a BFH, then beat up the body a little. Either way it will be a lot of work to pull out the header to gain access.

They would help, but that is a major install as well. Might as well fix the headers.
