If you mean what I think you mean, just loose those metal clips that hold the smog system together. You'll be able to move them a little and I'm sure it will not touch the headers. Once they're in a good position, retight the clips.

Other than that, well I'm not sure what you meant .

There a bunch of hoses connected together with metal clips. Its on the passenger side header of course. You know the kind you stick a flathead screwdriver in them to tight them or loose them by turning the screw?

i had a smog delete pulley and off road h-pipe. i rigged it up withs some enginuity. the reason i need cats is because i'm moving to england and they do smog tests there. and it should be smog legal there because they don't have the c.a.r.b. crap there. I will post some pictures.
