ok, I hung 1.7/1.8 Stainless H/Es on my new engine... they went on fine for the most part... did have to bend(gently) a couple of the ex. studs back into alignment... I then put the same muffler system on that was on the previous 1.7 H/Es(not stainless)... it lined up with a little persuasion as well... NOW, the muffler bracket is NOT lining up at all! it almost looks like the H/Es are too close together to use that bracket!
anyone else have this problem? what to do?
