Any plans to make it fit with the Arrow headers? I know I could "trim" the skid plate, but with that beautiful finish I am hesitant. I'm also not sure I want the header hanging through the plate as I figured that was something I wanted "protected".

The header for the left cylinder protrudes a tad further forward than stock. Apparently just enough to need to chop the skid plate to accommodate.Dallara said:

Well, I'll be damned. Don't know how I missed seeing that. Been thinking about the ACD plate but I would have hated to get it and then go to mount my Arrow headers and find out there was an interference issue.
Thanks, AVC! ::008::

I've thought about buying one and modifying it, but I don't like the idea of cutting it and just having the pipe hanging through the plate. I consider a "goal" of the plate protecting my header pipes.Dallara said:
So that means I would have to cut it, and then box it off with aluminum much like the oil filter cap. Then I ruin the BEAUTIFUL finishes ACD puts on the plates. Plus, If I have to get into fab work, I almost feel like I might start from scratch.

Not a big deal cutting it to give room for the Arrow header as long as you have some good tools. It took me some time becouse I didn't want to make look like a beaver attacked it.avc8130 said:

Your cut looks good, I just don't like the fact that the header is exposed at the leading edge of the plate.
For some reason, I am hung up on IF I get a skid plate, it should protect everything as best as it can.
I really LIKE the ACD plate. I bothered them until they imported them. There are 2 things I would change if I was starting with their plate as a baseline:
1. Adjust the front piece to allow fitment with the Arrows. The whole front could be made to match the oil filter bump out and would probably actually save a bunch of time welding.
2. Change up the front mounting so the main engine mount bolts don't have to come out each oil change. I'm just not 100% sold that is a good idea. It's probably no big deal, but I'd just prefer if it wasn't the case.
If they did #1 I order tomorrow with no reservations.

Remember that a very influential test mule had a 21" front wheel.
And no headers.
And no headers.
Where did his exhaust gasses go then? :-\snakebitten said:
He also wound up with a version significantly different in the front to fit that 21" wheel. His version had a HUGE cutout in front of the cylinder head/headers. It also used a special filter and a different filter "box" in the skid plate.
I would venture to say a few more people have Arrow headers than 21" front wheels.
It's up to ACD. It is still a GORGEOUS piece of kit and should be a no-brainer to anyone considering an aluminum skid.
