did you do any bending when installing the headers? I have the same setup as
you but it doesn't rub. The only thing close is the y pipe against the cross
member.
When the install was don't on my truck dad was there thankfully. The reason
why is because the right side was a bitch.
I was underneath with a 2X4 wedged between the exhaust and frame to push
everything forward to get the dog on y pipe and header lined up.
Do you have any leaks at the flange where Y and header meet?

Subject: DML: After JBA install, creaking???
I've wrote before about a creaking noise that showed up right after
installing the JBA headers. Well I got some great advice and went back to
check things out again. What I've found is the edge of the flange on the
Y-pipe is about 1/2 inch away from the frame. There is also a spot there
that looks as if the flange has indeed been vibrating against it. My
question is, is it feasible for the connection there to vibrate that much,
to where is moving about 1/2 inch when accelerating? And what the heck do I
do about it?
Thanks!
