Got rest of the stuff hooked up where I can fire the truck. I still don't like the passenger side collecter flange touching the tranny pan and the header itself touching the cross member (touching on the side rather than bottom). Thinking of taking the headers down and sanding it down or something - I don't think I got anything to cut a notch. I really need to get the truck going so that I can check the tranny before warranty runs out. Any suggestions/opinions guys?

Ended up cutting a notch in the crossmember using my reciprocating saw. So, I think I am good as far as the headers go. Got an electrical problem - posted under 'Electrical issue - relay hookup'

For future reference, Summit/Jegs tech support is basically useless.

I would really try bending the collector if you can, it'll save you a lot of headache if you cut things wrong or spend hours sanding.
