I researching how close my headers will fit with the Borgensen box. If what I am told is correct it will be a minimal amount of manipulating the headers to make it work..... Why TTI didn't accommodate the 1 3/4" for PS with a BB conversion is beyond me. The 2" is a whole different animal but whatever. It's hotrodding 101. I do like the pliers idea though.....

Thanks,
