David,
Yes. That is typical I believe. I had problems at #2 (your #2 right side I
think) and #6 (#6 = your #2 left side I think). Also I had to relieve the
down pipe on #1 to clear the frame rail, others have told me they relieved
the frame rail instead. The problem with the bolts on the header flange is
also typical.
I also had interference between the collectors and the bellhousing flange
with the Lakewood scattershield.
I also had a small problem between one of the downpipes and the Aviaid road
racing oil pan.
I know there are others on the list who have had similar problems. I've
also heard of (but not talked to) people who claim they have had no
problems.
I think there is enough evidence of issues with these headers that you
should have been warned to test fit them first.
