hey everyone...im running mac 1 5/8 inch long tubes...the steering column goes thru it and it hits on the headers and i can feel it in my steering wheel...is there any long tubes out there that will not hit on the steering column?

it sucks (I know) to be on the receiving end

That's a new one for me...i'm using the same headers and mine are fine..? Is it just a little rub or a ton? Maybe just put a slight dint into the primary to help clear it?

I think a flaming river steering shaft may work, i'd look into that, instead of new headers.

It could be bad motor mounts as well. The flaming river shaft is a great option as well.

i just installed a set of bbk long tubes and i had the same problem, i had to put a small dent in the #7 primary for the clearance i needed.
