Im talking full length headers. It seems on both my 79 and 80 the drivers side hangs about a inch lower. Why do the manufactors do this? Both my cars sit level and engine mounts are fine and both have different brand headers but both hang a lil lower on drivers side

Mine sure is like that.So is my friends 84 355 Monte Carlo.

To make room for the oil filter?

They do that mostly because of the torquing of the engine. The driver's side will lift up under heavy engine loads.

Yup I believe that's it! Mine hang lower on the drivers side, but only by 1/2 inch at the most.
