there is a power steering line that runs very close to where aftermarket headers tend to route. it's on the left side of the car near the rear wheel. my guess is that your header melted the PS line & you had pentosin leak onto the header & catch fire.

it's important to put a thermal sleeve on this line & tie it up & out of the way when you install aftermarket headers on this car, otherwise......fire hazard.

best of luck w/ the repair.
