ok, so I'm fitting the new dual intake, and having to grind away metal, because they are from 2 different places....I finally got everything to go on without binding, except one nut on one of the shared studs between #3 intake and exhaust...it's the Vicks stainless header, and the pipe deviates just a hair to the left, and a socket will just not fit. If memory serves me correctly, when I first put it on with the stock intake, it gave me problems, but I could kinda "shift" the header to where the pipe wasnt so close to the nut, and I believe I took a cheapie 12mm socket, and ground it down (have no idea where it is now of course) I am using 12 mm reduced nuts that fit on 8mm studs, but still can't get a ***** socket in there...
So the question is- what's the best way to put a dent in the stainless header...I don't really want to, but I'm thinking it's my only solution...so do I need to heat it up? will it crack if I don't?
