Default AEV Drop down vs RIPP Headers with Cats

Wanted to see if anyone had experience with the AEV drop down brackets interfering with the headers. I had seen others with long arm kits that interfere. Ive sent a message to AEV already. Ready to order but don't want to have to get the wrong one. Ripp said it should be ok, but to check with AEV. Im currently deployed and want to buy so i can install on my R&R time in Mar.

Thanks

I wish I could give info based on your AEV question. What I wanted to tell you was the tweaking I had to do to clear my lower control arm brackets was very minor. We had to cut a small piece of the crossover tube out and weld it back together. I'm thinking if you have to do any modifying it will be minor and any good exhaust shop can do it easily.

The clearnce issue if you have one will be on the right side where the crossover turns to head towards the other header. Just looked at some pictures of the brackets and it looks like the bolt extends pretty far out from the mounting point. That is where you might find contact. I can't say you will have an issue but it looks like there is a possibility.
