@texasz A local buddy of mine is having the same issue with a set of new headers he just bought. Out of curiosity, what headers are you using that caused you the interference with the shield?

Did Sean send your set directly to jet hot coatings. I found out after my set were shipped Sean mentioned them. Was able to have DHL devert the headers straight to them. Mine came out beautiful.

Gotcha. That's not at all what my buddy got. Thanks for the info.  

I had to trim some places on my '77 280's six to 1 MSA header but not the oil pan. Mine rubbed the bell housing and I had to cut out the intake manifold's vertical heat shield for the center 2 runners. FWIW

The headers went straight to Jet Hot and they shipped them to me when they were done; the rest of the exhaust came directly to me.

What did you do for the muffler?

How does the race header compare to Sean's other headers?

When I spoke with Sean it had to do with the horsepower you are producing. He sent me the full race series. I had the header and collector coated.

Good point, yes the collector also went to Jet Hot.

For the rest of the exhaust I got the JDM muffler https://www.datsun-zstory.com/echappements/mufflers-silencers/silencers-jdm-muffler/

The entire exhaust system came from Sean.

I ordered the twin pipe

Yep, that's the JDM muffler, same one I have.

Used to have one of the vintage Ansa muffler’s  on one of my 240’s back in the day. Way back!!
