Issue with long tube headers

I just finished installing pypes long tube headers and o/x pipe and I am now getting a vibration in my steering wheel. I'm guessing its because the column is only about an 1/8'' away from the header. So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so what did you do to solve it.

I had this problem with Obx headers,What I did was dent that part where it touches the steering post with a hammer cus taking them off and try to bend them in a nice way is rather difficult and time consuming but later I got Macs Ceramic long tubes and they fitted alot better all around

I was thinking about doing that but I wasnt sure if their was a better way or if I screwed something up when i installed them. Thanks for the info I give that a try.

It would be an excellent idea to WRAP your starter/solenoid
The heat will eventually kill the starter, be there done that.
