Anyone know if you need to make modifications if you install Arrow headers in combination with the ACD skid plate?
Many thanks.

Arrow headers & ACD skid plate?

I suppose it means cutting the plate to get more room for the "wider" headers?

Does not seem to be a major mod but something to think about when going off road.

No problem - unless they've recently come out with a further forward plate it is definitely something to consider if you ride mountain passes. Many of the loose & rocky SW colorado mountain passes would give me pause for cause with that header protruding like that...
Exactly. I have an ACD skid plate sitting behind me right now. I'm debating how to proceed.Karson said:
Options:
1. Revert to stock headers (what's the fun in that?)
2. Cut the plate and run it like that (scary thought withe the vulnerable header)
3. Cut the plate and weld on a guard over the header (probably decent, will destroy nice finish of the skid plate)
4. Create my own skid plate that fits (most fun, not the fastest)

AC, I designed my own mounting bracket for the front of my skid plate that mounts similar to the ACD. You might try some 1/4 or 3/8 spacers (in addition to what they give you, if any) behind the plate. That might space it forward enough to clear the headers?

Is it really that bad that one header sticking out a bit? Will look into spacers whenever I get the headers, is Arrow the only company that makes headers?
To me it looks like a matter of when, not if, a decent sized rock caves in the thin header protruding through right there. But YMMV.Red dust said:
ACD had it covered for the OEM pipes, it's just the bend on Arrow that requires the cutout.
Yep - arrow is the only company making catless headers at this point.
