#357988 What brand header is it? Cheap headers have poor fitment because it allows for more error in assembly and still doesn't hit everything. Buy a decent brand of header and you shouldn't have any issues.

I've discovered this also. I picked up a 4-1 one piece header that was high quality and looked great, but it sat lower down and scraped. Both of my B-swapped cars now have a DC-Sport 4-2-1 two-piece header and they both sit perfect.

#358000 a little scapin never hurt anybody :P

the flange on my header caught a manhole cover once and literally ripped the weld open. so bent it closed welded it shut and welded a little plate from the pipe to the flange so it wont catch on anything anymore.

my stock manifold and downpipe actually sit exactly as low as my 4-2-1 header. which is only low because the car is low
