1. I'm replacing my manifolds from tubular to cast, drivers side blew a leak after a cat clogged. I don't want to have mis matched sides so I'm getting both.. Anyways... The steering shaft comes close, oh hell.. it rubs the manifold... looking at the cast design the pipe shouldn't even come close as it doesn't come around the other one.. it stays even with the other pipes... would that be a good solution to this steering issue? Is the steering shaft issue with bodylift only a tubular manifold issue?

2. Something happened to all the stuff in my rear cats, does a tuning change need to be made? What about going from tubular to cast? As I've heard they flow just slightly better.

Yeah Yeah I know, TMH. I have big plans coming up and a big trip so .. it's not time for those, not in the budget.. so going for stockers now, just the slightly more durable ones.

Any insight?
