That's really close to the steering shaft. All this time I thought PPE would had at least one GS to test before they finalized the final set of headers. Hopefully with the removal of the heat shield my 01 gs430 will be fine. Neegroy, when u have time plz post some pics so I know what to expect. Thanks

I unboxed my headers today and I couldn't find a dimple thats supposedly there for the steering shaft its on the divert side header right? also I'm missing a 10mm bolt listed in the packing list. Did I get sent the wrong headers? Its for a 430

Yes i am aware of that now, but the only thing is im worried that if i remove the shield, the shaft itself might seize. and from the looks of the amount of 'play" (or scratch marks on the headers) it needs alot for it completely clear. vertically i believe i need at least 2-3 inches.

here is a picture of the drivers side header.
also is the exhaust tubes supposed to be different length between left and right sides? Cuz the first tube or the longest tube on the driver side is longer than the passenger side so it sticks out more compared to the passenger side, is this normal? since in your pics the exhaust tube lengths seem to be equal on both sides.

Headers clarification
PPE, thank you very much for the quick response and for the clarification. I'm planning to install mine next week and will follow your advice and remove the heat shield.
QUOTE=PPEHeaders;7607034]We have had multiple GS430s in here as well as SC430s (both headers are the same). The heatshield has always come off during install since the latest update last year. We added the dimple for additional clearance. We sold 10 of these models this year before this GB and they installed OK. There is clearance when the little heatshield is removed from the knuckle. You don't have to worry about removing it, it will not cause any issues.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I've been away from this thread. I received two passenger side headers. PPE sent me a cross shipping label to send one of the passenger side headers to Sean French. I'm assuming Sean has a shipping label to send me the driver's side so this gets resolved. Sean, PM me when you get a chance.
Mike (FIGS) and Paul (PPE)...thanks for working to get this resolved quickly.
