I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Is it touching the rubber part or tapping the metal?

Dent it a little for clearance if you need to.

Just FYI denting a header does absolutely nothing to performance. Tested and proven so don't lose sleep over a little clearancing. You'd be amazed at the abuse you can put to a header and still be efficient

Damn! I'd be scared to bash a header while it's hooked up to a $1500+ set of aluminum heads. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I'm just not that rich! Wouldn't that potentially damage the head...or the bolts....or the bolt holes....or the valve train?? From the video...guess not!
