MBH Headers installed

Has anyone ran into any issues with the headers touching the under belly plastic panels? I just finally tried to put the panels back on today, after installing the headers last week, and the passenger side header is touching the plastic panel right at the corner where the far back bolt goes.

No, might I suggest cutting the belly pan for clearance, or you'll risk the belly pan melting on the headers and possibly catching fire.

Yeah, I think that’s the route I’ll take. Thanks

Not all headers fit the same as OEM. So you'll have slight variations. So the only logical solution is to cut, for clearance.
