Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

No. That's about how high it's raised in those photos based on my experiment with shims last night.

I found the photos I thought were lost - I was looking at the wrong end of the folder list.

I hope these show how wrong it is, leading to my pessimism about this being a "scoot it over an eighth" or "knock a dent in it and move on" situation either.

The coupler is right against the tube there.

Well.. on mine i had to actually cut a pipe and move it.... If you can dent it and clear the coupler that might just be the way. it won't look great BUT they did dyno tests and found denting them didn't do **** to hurt power.. weird it's that far off
