Hi guys....thought I would post this here before I aggravate Dana....

I'm installing my sidepipes...I got the passenger side all lined up along the frame, made some mounting plates, and mounted them.

When I got to the driver's side, I realized that I couldn't make it match the passenger side. Why? Because it looks like the header is shorter on that side...by about 3-4 inches. If I look down at the engine compartment front the front of the car, the passenger side header goes out a further distance from the head before it angles down to meet the sidepipes. It's such a big difference that it puts the driver's sidepipe down away from cutout in the body. This is so hard to explain. I'll try to post some pics to help.

Do all Shell headers come like this? It seems to me that if the driver's header was as long as the passenger, it would work perfectly. I know the engine sits centered between the frames.....I don't know how else to justify this.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm puzzled.

Anyway, here's some pictures.
