I have been experiencing an uncomfortable vibration in the steering wheel only when cornering left and applying throttle (coasting while corning into left turn no vibration) Being that my 2015 507 barley has 9000 km on it, into the stealer I went for warranty inspection.

All front end suspension, tires, brakes... checked. when they inspected the steering column, they told me due to the after market headers and the tight clearance between steering column, when engine is under load it shifts slightly and while turning left the one exhaust runner actually makes enough contact with column to cause the vibration in steering wheel.

Just wanted to see if anyone else here has experienced this problem. Read a post a while back about issues when having to pull the steering column from spline. But discussed with mech. that did the exhaust install and he said he didn't have to do that.

Few attempts to inquire to A.P. about this issue with zero response

Still happy with performance(other then vibration) and sound. Even the overall quality is decent. BUT 3k spent on headers that don't fit and no customer support does not sit well with me. I'll post some picks. Not the best but should give an idea if this is in fact the cause. Thoughts?


this pic was taken while right after headers installed circled runner and steering column



This was taken by the service tech. at the dealership. Quality not as good but looks to be a bit of scoring between the 2

Wow that does seem too close for comfort. I don't have any experience with this but your best bet would be to keep contacting AP and seeing what their solution is to this issue. For $3k, these headers should fit without any problems

how are your motor mounts?

Yeah not sure. When I get back from overseas, next move to call eurochaged Houston and see what my options are. This is where I bought from. Even if they exchange, I'll prob have to pay shop time to have them removed tow my car back to my house have it sit In garage for a few weeks and pay again for shop time to have re installed and possibly have same problem lol. Maybe an excuse to switch over to MBH lick my wounds and do it right. Or just heat the one runner up and smash it in a bit

As far as I've been told by dealership everything solid. Good as new.
