first new motor mounts new tranny mount (ac is no longer hitting the sway bar)

i have FF long tubes


when i give the car gas i get a scraping sound from under the car, feel like under the floorboard drivers side but not always
i also sometimes get a sound when turning left and giving the car gas

any ideas?

You're headers could be coming into contact with your steering shaft.

I would suspect either one of the left side header tubes is contacting the steering shaft as stated or the ex. pipe is hitting the trans cross member. I have had to correct both those problems with FF headers after replacing engine mounts on a few E55's. I heated the down pipe that was contacting the shaft then made a small radius relief in it to clear. On the trans cross member I took a plasma cutter and cleareanced the left side, you can check that easy enough by power braking and seeing if the noise occurs. On a side note,when I had the steering shaft problem, when I would get on the gas hard the steering wheel would bind when trying to turn.
