Let me guess, you had a column mount shifter? And put an aftermarket floor shifter in it's place? And found that the shifter linkage and headers wanted to occupy the same spot? Then, your best bet is to get a factory console floor mounted shifter set up and go from there. Your very, very best bet, would to be ditch those headers and get some factory style high po exhaust manifolds. And a good exhaust. TTI makes good down pipes to attatch to factory hi po exhaust manifolds. Then into your exhaust system. For the street, all the benifits of high flow, lose all the problems with headers. Factory hi-po flows within a few cfm of headers. Headers only add 10 to 20 hp from what I have read. THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE HASSLE! for the money. People running FAST do it on factory style exhaust, running 10's. Headers are the biggest waste of money per headaches that I have ever encountered. You want obnoxious loud? They make mufflers for that. Just my personal opinion.
