Default any one using truck accessories and truck manifolds, in here please

so I am still trying to figure out how to make this work. when I flip my manifolds to forward-down facing, the driver's side manifold flange hits the power steering pump reservoir. what is everyone doing to get around this issue? BTW ditching pump is not an option, as I have hydroboost brakes. any pictures would be helpful also

Cut off the flange, angle it and weld it back on, cut off the flange and weld a vband on, find a different manifold, flip the original manifolds 180 deg so the outlet comes out the front up high rather than down low.

Cut it off and vband.

awesome, thanks for the help. I am looking into the v-bands now. I may see if my dad can chuck them up in the CNC and cut the bands onto the manifolds rather than weld them. would be pretty clean I think. what size v-band works best on these manifolds?

You have to cut off a good chunk to angle it to clear the accessories, cutting a flange into it wont work. 2.5 fits best but i use 2.25 as thats what matches my crossover typically.
