Gt40p headers from summit One of the tubes on the left side header barley touches motor mount. Is this something to worry about if so what the best route to take to solve this

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

It's flush with metal hump part

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!
