Here's mine after fitting and cermachroming. I also have 26" fronts and they do rub a little but not bad. I took some exhaust bending mandrels and pushed a couple of the tubes back to the firewall with a portopower to give them a little more clearance and had them coated.

Thumperdart, do you do carpeting for a living? The interior of your car is really nice. I think I have been inspired to carpet my car! So far it appears That they may rub on my front tires. My car is pretty low to the ground , Will these sit below the frame rails?

We run the 2" Hooker Fender Well Headers, and the 26" tire. Like everyone else has indicated, the headers rub the tires when you turn, especially to the left. However, another concern that I didn't see mentioned is that the collectors hang at such an angle that you must be careful unloading your car from the trailer, because the flang, particularly the drivers side, can hang up on your ramp or the back of the trailer. In addition we run race mufflers with turn outs on ours and they can be a little low as well.

I run a custom set that don't rub on the 26" tires, but do come real close to the frame.
