Altima 3.5 header ??????

I got a great deal on a 3.5 altima race header, problen is i have a 02 max, am i gonna run into fitment issues as far as oil pan clearence and around the block? Im not to worried about the y,pipe bolting to the rest of the system, thats easy to have a muffler shop fix. If any one has run into this let me know please it will save me time.

IS this a common thing? How much research was done prior to this purchase?

Plain simple answer- will not work. 3.5L Altima headers do not work in a A33 chassis due to the cross member we have. Altima and Maxima use a engine cradle now which holds the suspension and engine/tranny to the body. Its like a BOX frame and it has nothing right down the middle of it - like our A33s have. This setup sucks for doing clutch work etc. This whole craddle needs to come down in order to repleace the tranny or clutch.
