Would removing the tube and applying a big hammer do the job?

 

If you mean self clearance the runner on the header I probably could do that. Buuutt I don't really want to ruin my shiny new header.. I was just looking at it and mine also has the tab. So im going to wrap it with that performance fiber wrap stuff. Like I said ill keep everyone updated if something bad happens.. 😆 I appreciate everybodys input.

 

If you have a dremel, or something like, you could probably enlarge the top of the slot, so the tab could move a little more.

You could also get a ceramic coating on the header. Reduce heat output, and keep it pretty for longer.

 

Im not confident enough... And hmmm... Do you have any idea who would do that? Like what sort of shop?

 

Maybe a muffler shop.

 

I meant take a BFH to the transfer tube. IIRC there is a flat spot already.

 

Id be afraid id put a crack in it..

 

I didn't see a flat spot. I would be worried about damaging the seals.

You can get a dremel, or Roto-zip, or some other multi-tool at Harbor Freight for cheap. It's just a thin rib of aluminum.

Have someone help you get the hood off, and crawl over the passenger fender. If you can get in a position to do it, I would think it would be about a 1 minute job.

 

No mention of any of the dremel surgery in the thread you posted RJ.
I suggest you simply follow the small adjustment and then see if more drastic measures are required.

 

Maybe ill try that. I have a dremel tool i got from harbor freight a while back. Are you talking about that aluminum tab you can see? Shave that back?
