    Take them out and reuse your stock gaskets. I have never even heard of an MLS manifold gasket leaking.

    Yes it will more than likely fix the issue. If not send them back to hooker and buy some Pacesetters...

      do you have any pics? That might help to diagnose the problem/evaluate whether or not mounts will fix it.

          Is it the header colloctor or the y pipe. I had problems with the y hitting a cross floor structure. Y should normally have a flat spot there mine doesn't. I definately would do motor mounts or cutting re welding headers before doing anything to the floor. One suggestion is to loosen header and see how much shift in bolt holes you get.

            That's what I was going to suggest.

              i have never had them hit the body. I have had some hit the corner of the K-member though.
              what trans mount do you have?

                That was my first thought as well...
