Were these new headers? Any photos? I'm getting ready to release my order and do not want the same problem.

Thanks

What engine...502 or 496? Are these old style sport tubes or new? I just had similiar issue on my 496 recenlty. I had purchased a used set of CMI sport tubes and the oil filter and power steering resovoir would not fit in stock location. CMI makes these kits but are rather expensive for what you get....$350. If you order thru them ensure they get you brackets for the old style or new, depending on what you have. As simple as the brackets are I would even suggest making a cardboard template and have a custom billiet aluminum one made at a local shop. This is the way I would go next time around.
