Header problem PLEASE HELP!!!

Hey everyone I’m new and I have some questions. Please help! Well I just bought some headers and they sit on the frame right be side the front motor mount. Has anyone had this problem? Well I’m sure that they are the wrong headers for my car, because I bought them off e-bay but the item subscription said HONDA 94-97 ACCORD EX 2.2L CL 2.2L 2.3L HEADER TIG WELD I have 98 2.3 auto. Well I don’t know what to do now, So should I buy different headers? I would greatly appreciate the help.

Header prob

Ok here’s a picture. Well I decided to try and fix it myself without buying different headers. Well it’s off the frame but when I rev it up it hit’s the frame again.

Ok I will cut a lil more out, I was worried about making the frame weak or something. I probably didn't put the link in right. [IMG][/IMG]

This is what it looks like. say's it fit's;
. HONDA 94-97 ACCORD EX MODEL ONLY
. ACURA 97-97 CL 2.2L
. ACURA 98-99 CL 2.3L

i think its rubbing cause its a 4-1 header. usually its a 4-2-1 header which means smaller down pipe section. that support ur cutting while important will be ok if u take alittle more out. tho getting a 4-2-1 header will prolly help everything out all togather.

hey the obx header is fine man get that it should only run you 150 or less these days.

yeah i had a problem with the support on the down pipe but i dunno i dont even have the header bolted to it and its no problem, been like that for a year at least.
