Default So will the OBX 1 3/4 up and forward headers fit?

As the title states, will the up and forward 1 3/4" primary headers fit between the head and strut tower on a 4th gen f-body or not? My AC receiver/drier will be relocated so I don't really care about that aspect. I know OBX makes two flavors of these headers, the other being 1 7/8" which I am pretty sure wouldn't clear. If the don't fit nicely, could the strut tower be massaged just a bit to accommodate some space for the headers to work? Anyway, please chime in, I'd like to put this issue to bed.

I'm putting their 1 7/8 on my 3rd gen build but when I talked to a gent that does turbo builds at a local shop he said the stainless works measured out the same other then the obx are a little longer in length he said he had them on a customs 4th gen dunno how true that to be but from what I'm told yes

You should buy a set and put it to rest.

No, they won't fit in the up and forward position. They do fit in the down and forward position though.
