Default header/front brace question

Hey guys just installed some figs/ppe headers and sometimes when I turn left hard they will bang on the front A brace, anyone know if the megan racing PN: SB-HBLI01-F will give me more clearance for the exhaust? Or I may get get stiffer motor mounts any advice will be great thanks guys

My advice is to find out if this is a problem with the part you bought or with the chassis you installed it in. If the chassis is the problem then you could try doing what you're thinking to do, which is change a part to another that potentially doesn't rub. If the header is the problem then I would be in contact with Figs and letting them know what trouble you're having.

I have the Megan headers, no clearance issues. I also had the Mazurri a long time ago and didn't have problems with those either.

Change your engine mounts. I'm in the middle of changing mine right now, then once that's done I'll be installing a FIGS manifold as well. My engine moved a lot before I swapped the passenger side mount. I still need to do the driver's side but I need to lower the front subframe to do it

I noticed a lot of exhaust movement on my SC300 that went away once I swapped out the engine mounts
