If they are truely a set of unmodified Headman headers... your #1 tube shouldn't be anywhere near the motor mount. The #1 tube would be that piece of crap that passes under the main crossmember, on the Headmans anyways.

You got a way of posting a pic so we can see whatcha got going??

My guess is you may have hit something with #1 tube.

Only a guess.
