A tale of woe, long tube headers.
It all started when my smog pump froze on me. I had my engine rebuilt and i reused my smog pump to reconnect all my smog equipment again. after a month it froze and i had to bypass it. i had just received my tags so i decided to to go BBK long tubes and remove the cats for now but put them back when the time comes. I already had BBK shorty headers on it. When i bought the car it came with a 1999 V6 transmission that i had forgotten about when i bought the headers. finally found a guy to install the headers for me only to find out that the clutch fork rubs against the headers. Without me seeing the problem he tells me over the phone that it's not a problem he can modify them to fit. i said ok. a week later, every time i press in the clutch it makes this horrible metal screeching sound. i take it to my local muffler shop he says he can't do anything and i find this: pictures attached.
Just venting my frustration here.
