Has anyone installed a set of Patriot #H8054 headers on a 2WD pickup?
I bought a set, and have at least 2 issues with them.
1.) the collectors are angled towards the frame on both sides. Is this just sloppy design and/or welding? I am using 3” exhaust cutouts, and the angle puts them way too close to the frame rail.
2.) RH dipstick. Exhaust tube #2 has been routed under #4, and totally blocks the dipstick boss on the oil pan. I have a flexible dipstick and MIGHT be able to flex around the tube … but it will be in direct contact with the the header tube for about 2”.
