Another Exhaust Thread (Vandemon Headers) with Installation Pictures

[Protonhound]

I wonder if using Vandemons headers would give any extra clearance to the "drag link" or whatever it is hitting? Maybe they design in a small bit of length or something to account for that? No way to squeeze a piece of heat resistant silicone rubber between them? Amazon.com

I have thoroughly investigated the situation and nothing can be moved or slipped in without misaligning everything else including the connection to the headers. I should probably send all that to Vandemon so they can adjust their design.
