okay I gots a problem with my thorley header, the collector flange that connects to the down pipe is too close to my torsions, I think not even 1/4" of space in between them. when I let go the clutch you can hear the header vibrating against the torsion bar making an irritating sound.. have any of you guys got this problem.. its a 542y header.

im not sure about that one... i got a doug thorley header as well its the tri-y header. i think the model number is 550-y-c. is there anyway you can shave the flange down enough to make a little more space for it to vibrate without hitting anything?

can't really shave that much because it will cut into the screw where the flange and the down pipe meets... damn u bought the tri-y's thats even more expensive than mines..
