Pacesetter Direct Replacement Headers

[redstreetracer36]

i have a 2004 gmc sierra 1500 5.3. i recently bought some direct replacement headers from summit and i was in the process of connecting the right side header to the exhuast after imounted them to the block and got underneath and went to go put the bolts in the holes to connect it to the ring on the exhuast collecter..and the holes are to far apart for the factory ring so i can get one bolt throguh the hole and the other two holes are barely touching the holes on the header collector... ...the holes on the header collector are bout 3.5 inches from each other....anyone have any suggestions..or advice...everything u can do to help me out is appreciated.

So the Pacesetter collector and the factory collector don't meet? It sounds like your using shorties? Send them back IMO.

Yeah they are shorties...

shoulda went full length , shortys don`t give enough hp gains to be worth it anyways, but yeah return them even though that sucks, you don`t really wanna hack that stuff together and deal with leaks!

My boss at work knows a guy in a near by town who he thinks can help with my porblem...i cant really send them back cuz i bought them off of summits account on ebay..i called them an d asked whats up and they said its the right prt and it should fit but it doesnt so they said i can get a different brand but i have to make up the difference and i bought these cuz they was the cheapest for direct replacement.
