Contacted PPE they made a new driver side header and sent it to me at no cost. Had a Nissan/Datsun (Z Car Garage) shop install it this time, now it hangs too low while fully bolted on and damn near touches the floor.

PPE is telling me to take off the exhaust wrap (this wouldnt even give any clearance so its a dumb response) and to try it again. Otherwise return them for a full refund.

They are pretty much giving up knowing that they engineering some shitty headers and gave it to me.

I will have to pay a shitload of labor at this point and also wait for a new set of headers from a different company? Straight BS, beware if you are getting PPE Headers.

Why would they fit different on my Z? Makes no sense.

Regardless my shop is going to macguyver some **** together to make them work, might have to air hammer the body to get more clearance from the ground, not happy about it but also not going to pay thousands to get the right fitment.

WATCH OUT FOR PPE.
If Rob (Z Car Garage) can't get them to fit right then you know it's a header issue
