PSA Regarding TRQ Exhaust Manifolds

[rob249]

If you use TRQ exhaust manifolds, you must grind or bend the heat shield on the front passenger side or you wont be able to get a socket on your spark plug. Try to do this BEFORE they are installed, Its a pain in the ass after the fact. This is the heat shield that goes to the metal tube to the filter housing(heat riser?). I had to cut the top off and old spark plug to cover the hole, and use a rotary file in a drill, then a hammer to smash it down.

Considering that the aftermarket has all the engineering done for them by the original manufacturer, how can they screw stuff up this badly?

Clearly, TRQ doesn't care about actual parts fitment.
