4-2-1 Headers hang way to low

I put on the DC sports and they come down a good inch or two lower than my bumper it looks mean as hell and as helped but im terrified of bottoming out and ripping my whole damn exhaust. Any tips or advice?

Sounds like you might have gotten the wrong header for the application.

Proper aftermarket fitment should be about where the stock one mounts

Check with your seller

Re: 4-2-1 Headers hang way to low

Does the header drag or the exaust?

My exaust drags all the time
But I only drag the header if I really wack something.
Of course how slammed do you have your car?

Hanging 2 inches under the bumper seems kinda low no matter what...
You are gonna hit everything and wreck the DC's

Usually 4-1 have less clearance then 4-2-1

Re: 4-2-1 Headers hang way to low

Is it a 1-piece or the 2-piece? The 1 piece ones usually hang a little lower than the 2

I have that same header and it scrapes/hits everything. That's just how it's made. Mine is a piece of crap now.

Re: 4-2-1 Headers hang way to low

take it to a shop and see if they can bend it for you by heating it up and moving it while its still on the car or something, they make them big cause they wont go on if they are 1 peace, they wont go around the oil pan.
