I just sent a link to this video to a customer of mine who's new block hugger headers I had to severely bash in a few tubes to get them on his car. He told me after a test drive that they worked as well or maybe a bit better than the old long tubes that I took off. I was reluctant to dent them at first, but this guy assured me they were cheap and he didn't care. The switch from long tubes to block huggers was done to gain over 2.5" of ground clearance. As it turns out, I guess I didn't do any major harm anyway.
