Headers scraping?

[Btownmills]

So, I got headers put on last Thursday. The pipe coming off of the flex seems to be extremely low. It's tough to go over any bumps without scraping. Is this normal for Speed Daddy headers or is there a way to lift it up a bit?

Yes, it's the goose neck U shaped piece. All SD headers come this way, and unless you are lowered, they usually aren't a problem. Some have had them rewelded and made straight but I haven't done that nor do I plan to.

this is it after it's been straightened

PM or contact Billboost37 on here. He's got a write up or pics on how to do the pic above.

Is there a way to do it without welding? I heard welding stainless is a *****.

 

[rynoman03]

Not really.

Not really.

Alright I'll try contacting Bill. Thanks a lot!

Ive had mine on for over a year, never hit anything.

Maybe slow down when you come to speed bumps??

It isn't even speed bumps. It's just plain bumps in the road or driveways. My car isn't lowered but my struts suck so maybe the car actually is riding lower than stock.
