I called ARH and was told the headers clear if "everything is in the stock location". Ignatz, where did you get your bracket from?

As 79bullet says, it was probably VetteAid. Look at my picture very carefully before you proceed. Best guess, that bar goes right through a tangle of pipes on their header. Were you clear with ARH about your setup? My correspondence with them was that they had no idea if it would clear the bar and didn't build their design around a car with one in place.

I can only relay what Mike told me yesterday. The headers pictured in post 5 and 10 do not look like ARH c3 headers.

Headers in #5 were home built and posted before. I don't know specifically where I got the photo for ARH but if you search LS swap headers you will find a lot of images that look similar with regard to the tangle in the z-bar area so I would be very careful before I bought anything. All I'm trying to do is advise you to be careful. Here is the earlier thread.

1 goes outside the bundle, 3 goes inside, 5 touches 3, 7 tucks inside everything - looks like my picture to me. It's your money and time, let us know what happens.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm just trying to help. FWIW, I'm keeping my 427/435 in my 69. If I can help, I'll do my best to do so.
