    Exhaust shorty pipe hitting engine bellhousing!

    I'm installing the exhaust right now. I've gotten the headers installed and then the shorty pipe along with the muffler.
    We'll the shorty pipe is hitting the bellhousing at the starter on the passenger side. This is causing the muffler to kick up past the floor.
    Does anybody have any solution short of cutting the system apart or a custom setup?IMG_20190720_101722869.jpgIMG_20190720_101817074.jpgIMG_20190720_101754243.jpgIMG_20190719_144603083.jpg

    You haven't mentioned what engine and headers... I looked through some of your other posts and it seemed you were thinking 347 at one point. Is that what you went with? If so, I do not have this problem with my 347. What headers did you go with? I used BBK 15150 on FFR recommendation, works great.

    I took the headers off. Looks like. They were for a 351. Hence the clearance issue. I bought my kit partially assembled and these headers came with it. Just ordered the bbk 1515 online. Thanks
