Default Alibaba headers.

Am I nuts for attempting install Alibaba headers on my '17 RCF? The headers looked amazing wrapped up great but had a huge fitment issue when it came down to finishing the installation the steering column was not able to function since it was pressed right on to the headers. Ended up going back to stock for now. I was able to return them and they offered me another set of header with a discount.


first try

second attempt look to have more clearance so heres hoping it works.



Already have sensor extensions so hopefully everything works out.

actually the first headers were great quality only thing was that on of the sections stuck out way to much. The manufacturer if put me in contact with their technicians so they can make the changes needed to fit properly. Unfortunately I didn't want to wait and grab their other option they had available.
to be honest they are a fraction of the price compared to everything else available. So i was curious to see how they'll work.

Did you change the first set yourself or did you pay a shop?
