Ace A350 exhaust manifold clearance fix
It’s a great header BUT annoyingly it sticks a little low by about 1/8” or 3mm, contacting the aluminum panel and making the car sound and feel like it lost a cylinder. Here are the two magical places on this panel to either flatten with a hammer(they are raised reinforcement ribs) or potentially drill with a 1” hole saw. Notice contact points circled with a marker in the pictures.
EDIT 13APR2022: Also flatten area circled in red. Last edited by mkodama; 04-14-2022 at 03:32 AM. |

Yup, they maximize every bit of space available.
This can also be addressed with stiffer engine mounts, which is why the STi mounts are recommended. |

Good info but for me this issue was far worse. Not sure if I got lemon header or what but it still made contact in sharp left-handers even with with fresh STI mounts and a lot of hammering done to it. In provided example it's touching for me it was more like rubbing through
