Depends on how bad it is hitting, if it is barely touching it then yeah, if it is really hitting bad it could lock your steering up. Mine is barely touching and only on right hand turns and only every once in a while so it isn't a big deal.

Yes it barely touches I wanted to wait a few weeks before going in again and taking the bolt out. But are you tuned?

Nice. So when you installed your headers did you see a notice in power before the tune vs after? I have not seen any power gains and I know I need a tune which will be done this weekend. But just wanted to know if there’s significant difference in power between before and after the tune

So I can imagine how you feel to have to dent your ceramic coated headers. That would most definitely rub me the wrong way.
Nice call. ARH and Swain Tech are both top shelf.

You will not notice much, if any, difference without the tune.

If you're cruising to your tuner then air fuels should be fine, but once you go wide open, it's going to lean out a lot. You have to get a tune on headers otherwise you run the risk of engine detonation.

I have the TSP 2" long tubes, no issues. There would have been on the steering column, until I realized what the added bolt they provided was for. Problem I ran into was the TSP bolt onto Borla both had the same size pipe. Cut them down and welded
