Quad-1 fitment Issues (New Issue 10-4-10)
UPDATE: Now that the headers are in the passenger side intermidiate pipe hits the Bowtie Overdrives T-56 Tubular Crossmember. It hits only a few inches aft of the ball socket connection. Suggestions for remedies?

PREVIOUS: I recently purchased a set of Quad-1's second hand that had never been installed before.
I went to install them last weekend and ran into issues with the driver-side header hitting the frame. So then began the debacle of installing new engine mounts. Finished that and now the header still hits the frame.
About 4 years ago I'd been t-boned by a Jeep Liberty. Surprisingly it didn't total the car. So it went in to get repaired. Seeing as the header hits the frame in roughly the point where I got t-boned. I'm wondering if I've got old issues raising there ugly heads and that my frame isn't straight.
My other options for possible issues are the engine mounts although new still suck (Autozone 2292's); the bowtie overdrives T-56 crossmember makes the engine sit crooked (doubt it) or the headers are off (Doubt that too since I've never heard of anyone having issues with CIA headers like this.)
Anyway I suppose I could use some help with frame numbers and a way to check if it's square or any other possible suggestions.
I'm not completely sure where to start and 90% of this is just me venting.
