KA header smacking the floor board

like title says my headers hit my floor like every other ka swaps i just wanna know what you guys used to bang the floor up??

KA24E or KA24DE? Short tube runner or long tube runner? Knowing what year the header was designed for will help...

BUT... I'll show you what I had to do to get my long tube S13 KA24DE header to fit properly in my S12:

its for a ka-e thats going into a  mk2 and i believe its a short tube design

Mark I and Mark II are identical in terms of engine bays... you have a picture of the header put of the car? Was it an eBay purchase?

Chances are, what you see I had to do, you will, too... because it's usually the downpipe portion that doesn't clear the lower firewall and floorboards.  Just make sure you have some biiiiiig Jack stands for both height reasons (so you can get enough swing with the hammer) and for stability (because the bigger truck Jack stands have sturdy, wide bottoms).

Chalk it out (or a grease pencil, whatever), and get to hammering. These things never fit our cars without modification. The good news is doing this will leave your exhaust tucked up high behind the frame rails so if you have your car low like mine, you don't have to worry about crushing or even scraping the exhaust :thumbsup:

i believe they are ebay idk i got them from the local junkyard for 20 bucks lol bt okay ill try ur method b4 i cut and weld the floor board

Yeah cutting and welding the floorboard is unnecessary. Just make sure you use an industrial heat gun like I did or it wont work. Those are cheap and good to have anyways, make fender rolling jobs easier, help loosen bolts, break shit free, etc. But without that industrial heat gun the metal wont heat up enough to reshape. Do it exactly like I did in my thread and you will get great results.

ill.give it a shot
