Header fitment rant, Doug's

It seems strange, of the multiple sets I've put on, NONE required that type of hacking to install. I still think there is a engine location issue

Exactly. I barely touched the Doug's that are in my Duster, even with the 1.12" torsion bars. The TTI shorty's were about the same, the headpipes would have taken the small dimples instead.

Maybe?

It it's sitting in there petty Damn close to where it should be, off by about 1/8th, little less.

I can't see myself buying another set of pre fabbed headers, I'll just buy the pieces, fit and weld it up myself.

I wouldn't buy TTI either.

What a waste of time and money this was!

I could have tossed them, sold them, whatever but that still leaves me building my own. Haven't sourced material and don't want to get all side tracked on one thing.

I had to dent the drivers side in 4 places, I expect to have to dent the other side too. Having said that it will probably go in just fine on p side.

All of the dents are significant, they're not small dents.

Who gives a ****, I'm over it, on to the next thing I can get done.

I think you decided right off the bat the headers were the problem and stopped looking for other problems. I've never seen biscuit mounts as large as the ones you're using. Typically they're half that size.

It's not the headers. You've got something else going on there, and it will probably come up with other parts too.
