So back story, when I got my headers they touched the drivers side fan. I put a small dent in one so that it wasn't too bad. Fast forward 2 years and the heat finally killed the fan. Thus my temp gauge pegged and I had to get the car towed home since it wouldn't restart. Got that fixed and went to my fan issue.

Turns out both bearings in the motor failed and seized it up. I have an Intrigue sitting at the place and decided to try out the fans. I switched all of the brackets and wired up the new ones to a switch with an inline fuse.

Wow it really opened up the engine bay. I have a good 1/2 inch between my fans and the headers now, and did I mention it looks better. And yes, I know the engine bay is dirty, it's been a long few weeks.

I think the SSAC headers have longer primaries then the speed daddys. And I never looked into ls4 fans.
