  • Help Quick!! Huge sparks from headers!!

    I just had my pacesetter headers installed (got ripped off $744 just for the install, took the idiots 14 hours.) and any way the steering column is grinding on them and even making sparks. The shop said they noticed this and heated and dented it a little bit. But obviously its still hitting. What's the best way to fix this problem anybody??

    I haven't read through all of it, but they were talking about the same thing.

      You may need to adjust the steering linkage a little bit, my headers don't scrape at all against the knuckle but when I did my install I disconnected the linkage completely and later reattached it, there is a little bit of play in the linkage, especially where it connects to the column, and rack, I would recommend seeing if you can move it some, and then tighten down the bolts again.

        Did you get a quote from the shop first? At least in Minnesota a shop can't charge you a certain percentage more than the quote. 14 hours is a little ridiculous.

            I never had a problem of the headers grinding on anything. They really can't charge you more then the quote, at least I think.
