another victim of Kooks headers I guess...

anyone have any tips on how they did it, like where to pry or what they used to clearance brand new expensive *** headers?

Trying to feed it up from the front but its just a tight damned fit. Its hard to find a way to use a pry bar near where the steering shaft runs through. From what Ive read it looks like the flaming river is only .25" narrower which seems like it still isnt enough...big gamble for over $300

Ive also seen where people cut the crimps on the extendable section to take it all apart and re-assemble this way but its doesnt sound like the safest thing in the world.

any input is appreciated
