From everyone that I know that have ever purchased these, not a single one fit with no problems. You're going to need to understand that if you get them, there will be fitting issues you will need to figure out.

Yep had same issue, but mine cleared when cold, once to op temp, it would rub hard enough to make it difficult to steer. I was told that my car must have been wrecked since I had stock K-mem and stock springs etc.
Unless it fell off the truck during delivery that was highly unlikely.

Re: HELP. Kooks headers hitting my steering column. What do I do?

Hi Call 911. Where can I get an LS intermediate steering rod for 98-02 F body's ? Does the dealers have these ,or are they salvage yard picks ? I read where someone with a 94 Tran Am built a new one from Bourgsen pieces. Said it worked good. Kooks rep told me about Bourgsen as a option to help on steering hitting with their 1 3/4 x 1 7/8 x 3 " Long tubes on my 93 LT1. Are the ARP Stainless 1" 12 point small head header bolts good for this app? I think they are 5/16" instead of standard 3/8" head. I would use a Fel-Pro 1406 header gasket. Is that better than the one Kooks supplies? Thanks again.
