Hey all,
I installed TTI headers on my car a while back, and not long ago when I was rebuilding the front end, noticed a divot in the header just above the idler arm. Looking at the divot, it's clear that the idler arm caused it from being far too close. My experience with the fitment of TTI headers has been great in the past, so I'm thinking it's an issue with the suspension sagging, or I need a spacer between the engine mounts and K frame. New shocks, new engine mounts. The divot was there before rebuilding and the spacing is still very tight after the rebuild.
I added spacers on my Scamp a while back to help with clearance with great results, so I'm thinking that might be the route I go. I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue with their E body? I'll update with pics shortly.
