Default Anyone use these turbo headers in 4th gen

Just wondering if anyone has used these on a 4th gen fbody.
Found a set for set local and the price is right.

Not sure if they would clear our ps pump or get in the way of the steering

It looks like those could be put on 2 different ways for clearance? You know at that price you could even get 2 sets, and use 2 lefts or 2 rights if that gave you better clearance? Maybe they would exchange a left for a right if you needed to? You could by a set and try them for fitment, then determine what works best. They look like a hell of a deal.

You know as when you use OE manifolds, you can install them either on their intended side, and upside down, for a high forward exit, or you can put them on the opposite side of the block for a low forward exit. I have seen a set up, using 2 passenger side manifolds to keep their AC, they put the passenger side on upside down on the passenger side for the high exit, then put a passenger side manifold on the driver side of the block for a lower exit to get under the PS pump.

I bought some last week. They are 1-7/8", not 1-3/4". Very good welds, but a little thin for turbo headers. I sent mine back.

That's how mine is. Also clears a 4" downpipe through the stock k member.

Good to know
Did they look like they would fit an 4th gen without crashing into everything ?
