It's simply not true that the headers that go around the steering linkage will be smashed. Here's how to avoid that.
Run at LEAST a stock height tire in the front and at LEAST stock ride height with the torsion bars and you'll hardly ever scrape over anything. Sure, there are Doug's and TTIs for much much more money and they are nice, but as long as your car is not lowered in the front, it will be fine with the cheaper headers.
Seriously yall, what did everybody run before Doug's and TTI made headers for our cars?
