Hmm. I had 0 issues with fitment. My headers are coated and not wrapped. I jabe a friend with a GSF that wrapped his he doesn't habe a problem. These headers are made in a tight jig. I messed up my dipstick during install trying to make the bend right. They sent me one for free pre bent. They are very good at customers service. I am really sorry you are having a problem.

Not to knock your installer but this should have been checked after the subframe was reinstalled. Appears they bolted it up and took it off the lift.

Hi pheen619,

Again, sorry you are having issues with the install. I just sent you a detailed email reply.

As LRCSALES mentioned it is tight fitment. You will definitely need to remove the header wrap around the steering shaft area for clearance.

Curious...are these equal or unequal length? Do they both have this issue?

they have to be equal length. rc-f has more room than the ISF for aftermarket headers which is why the rc-f has the equal length option.

its a tight fit regardless which is why Figs now sell engine mounts that are smaller that helps the equal length headers for these cars.

I am running unequal. I assumed that by running unequal, would give me more room and less chance of clearance issue. I would trade a little loss of HP for things to fit once and right the first time.

PPE do stand by their product and is working with me to fix this, which I really appreciate.

The shop that did the work comes highly recommended and do a lot of installs here for f-members. I can say everything was fine until about half way home and I started to hear a knocking noise and then a banging noise on turns. I assume everything settled back down and the clearance became tighter. The only crappy thing is I have to pay labor again to have them drop the headers and realign my car.

They need to make sure it's not a problem with their labor first before they charge you again. If they've installed these headers on the RCF before without issues, that should tell everyone that the installer has made an error somewhere. Find out who specifically worked on the car... could have been the rookie/new hire.... just because "the shop" has done these types of installs doesn't mean the installer you had has, lol.

I hear ya... In this situation the shop owner did the work on my car. He also did my buddies Novel header install on his GSF, a bunch of ISF's with PPE & Sikky headers, so I am positive he knew what he was doing.

Damn .This sucks . Hopefully it is a manufacturing defect and not bad install. Hopefully they give you a discount on reinstall . If not the guys at WOW in Poway work on their supercharged isf and isfs .They work closely with RR racing and even do the ECU flash there, I think. maybe worth taking there?

I had my wrapped PPE equal headers installed a few months ago and don't have any issues what so ever.

Pheen please keep us apprised as to the outcome of the final install. Many of us want to buy the PPE headers and know the company to be a fine reputable company. I'll admit I too would wrapped the headers before the installation ( if that was the issue). Again, we look forward to the remedy PPE provides.

Looking to be one of next upgrades and I know a lot of people have had this done with no issues...but worried and was wondering if this was an issue or not. Looks like the only issue was from the this one instance with unequal length.
