Sorry dude but ditto for me. I banged the hell out of the driver side had little or no clearance on the p/s sector then just like you said got no clearance on either t-bar. I tookem back off cutem up and made new header to clear whatever I wanted. Unfortunately what I made is 2-1 tubes but all you need out of the way to take in and out is the starter. HOOKER look great in the box but never seem to fit without just pounding them to pulp.
