me and a friend both have the pacesetter header 4-1. he's had his quite awhile longer than me. both of our shift cables sit right on the header. he's recently ran into the problem where his cable has snapped due to the extreme heat of the header. he runs the @!#$ out of his car. he has to get under the hood to shift it. all he does is pull the e-brake, pops the hood and puts it into gear. he's got the shift plus so when he's in drive or reverse, he knows it cause it shifts kinda hard. he's going today i think to get a new cable. the protective @!#$ around the cable on mine is still there but crumbles when i attempt to move it off of there header. i thought about trying to run the cable under the header but he says he's tried that but its to tight and it would touch the header. so..........i'm thinking about now wrapping the cable where it sits on the header in aluminum foil for a temporary fix. the foil i know would last under the heat. has anyone else incountered this problem with this header? if so, what have you done to solve the problem? thanks.

I've never dealt with an issue like this, I still don't have a header, but I would think you could try some header heat wrap in the area that the cable is close to the throttle cable, it should help I would think.

mine sat on the header when i installed it. i just zip tied the line to the lines coming through the firewall right next to it. now theres an inch or so of clearance between the line and the header. no problems whatsoever and its been that way for over a year

For my 5spd cables I put protective/reflective heat wrap around them where they run under and touch the downpipe... I then used metal worm gear clamps to hold them in place. Been fine for 3 years now...
