Grinding noise left turn after Long tube headers

I remember seeing someone say a lot of people have this problem after installing headers. Anyone figure out what’s causing this noise ? Only happens on sharp left turns. Been under the car can’t pin point what’s rubbing. Thanks

Mines was rubbing trans mount, check it. It was more of a rattle than a grind.
Mines was shaved down like 3mm to fix it.

The motor twists when under load, and from the position of the driver seat looking forward the headers will move counter-clockwise a bit. This might help in trouble shooting.
Make sure the header is not rubbing on the steering rod shroud/cover. Check the mid exhaust pipe near the transmission mount and make sure that this section doesn't need to be rotated slightly away from it. If you can't rotate it far enough away you may have to grind down the trans mount like the person above did.

Don't forget to check the chassis support bar that is bolted on just in front of the resonator, if it is still installed.

What headers are these? That will likely explain the issue lol.
