Alright I got the TSP 1 7/8" with cats ordered. I'll report back with how fitmint is.

I still don't see how the steering shaft bolts hit, they have tiny heads and don't protrude much from the weld in nut on the other side.

Mine was the same way is this normal how the steering shaft bolt should look?

I have the TSP 1 7/8 LT's, and they rubbed on hard right turns. I swapped the lower steering shaft bolt with a button head and it completely went away. I autocross the car, so if it was still going to rub, i'd know it.

2in kooks - no rubbing

Received my bolt from Texas Speed, installing next oil change.

I have the TSP 1-7/8 longtubes on my car with the shorter shaft bolt. I regularly autox the car without any rubbing until i put sticky tires on it(re71r's).

Nino8309 · 07-09-2018, 03:53 PM

ARH 2" no rubbing.

Block of hard wood and kink the tube a bit for clearance - seems like this should be done from "factory" as engine moves a under load. Perhaps stiffer mounts is viable solution ?

How did you end up fixing this? I’ve got same exact issue from tracking my 1LE on 2” TSP Headers. Thinking about denting the header a bit in that spot. Suggestions?

Slightly flatten the tube in that area.
