Default Header install problem.

okay im bringing this back because ive seen brand name headers and they are the exact same..they are 2 pieces before it goes to one piece to bolt to the cat...i dont understand what is different with my car that makes it hit.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WITH A 90-93 INTEGRA HAVE THIS PROBLEM?????

(original part of post)
okay I got a header off of ebay (yeah i know you get what you pay for). it bolted up the the block no problem. the problem came in when the downpipe hits the oil pan..
other than the obvious solutions to the problem like spending the money and getting a name brand header, what could i do?

i will post pics up tomorrow if i get an chance because its confusing me for real and i want some sort of idea what is diff on my car that makes the downpipe of the header it the oil pan and whatever the hell that thing on the other side is

theres really no damage you can do by denting it. but like MajorsEF said make sure its not near the pickup or else you are hosed. a dent you put there is no different from a dent placed there by bottoming out or anything.

DO NOT PUSH IN YOUR OIL PAN!!! it prolly get dinged and dented just from your car being lowered.. dont do anymore damage to it, just sell that one or take it to a shop that can work with it. please dont dent your oil pan, please?

yeah....my exhaust is already 2 in if that off the ground. i think i can make this work.
i need a 4-1 header. the 4-2-1 is too big. if i had a 4-1 it would fit. its hitting the oil pan and the crossmember or whatever it is i cant remember, on the other side.
