Default Valve covers & SW up/forward headers, what covers fit?

Engine was shipped with cheap china sheetmetal valve covers. I want to replace them and was curious what you guys are running. There is not much clearance between the cover & header.
Post any photos if you have them.

Thanks!

I'm using stock valve covers with cx racing up and forward manifolds
It's tight with them even, don't think any aftermarket taller valve cover would fit

The sw headers look even tighter than mine, I'd try a set of stockers if you have some

I know this may not help exactly but i believe the SW up/forward manifolds are made with a bit more clearance but fwiw i took a set of SW down/forward meant for a single turbo set-up and flipped it to mock up on my car just for *****&giggles and it's cloe to the Mast Motorsports covers but does clear even with the taller covers







This is how they are supposed to be run (down/forward)
