I use a ruler at the header flange to see if the header flange is lower on that side and I don’t see a difference to passenger side, yet the pipe ground clearance is definitely about an 1.5” lower. What the heck? I can not see visible bend or collapse of the bracket (my first thought) so I’m not sure what is bent or pronged. Car runs great though. Figures. I’m thinking somehow that d/s bracket is bent down allowing the motor to tilt enough that you can see it out at the end of the pipes exiting the body. Thoughts?
Put car on flat level ground. Measure frame to floor all four corners. Once verified level (rake front to back okay), place a level across the valve covers.
