    headers hitting frame

    I just got jba lt headers installed a couple weeks ago and they told me when they installed it that it would be extremely close to my frame. when im driving it and turn left i can hear it moving around and hitting my frame. they claim that it wont mess anything up but has anyone had this problem or know if its "fine"?

    Why would it change when you turn left

    it only seems to hit when i turn left, like at a normal speed. if i try to avoid the rattling and movement i can but if i drive normal and turn it, i can hear and feel something moving possibly hitting the frame.

    there is a few ways to shift things around so they wont hit/rub.

    Probably more of a minor annoyance than anything. Been there before with modded exhausts on other mustangs I've had and any part touching the frame or other metal resonated through the whole car. Never had the problem with a header though.

    Getting the car on a lift may make it easier to pinpoint.
