i did some shorties not macs though
i remember the driverside fit on the passenger bank, but i think the flange on the driverside bank came close to the steering shaft.

They would be a good start and with little modifciation then correct?

Im chaning the collectors on them to V-band setup...Just wondering how close to the steering shaft the passenger side really is.

Anyone want to donate a set of them and ill show my modifications in a write up on here...Keeping the pipes low and come in to merge under the turbo and then run the down pipe through the motor mount if theres enough room...Just some fitting and testing away.

If I remember correctly the last time i saw this attempt it was a local guy. He had cut the flanges off and flipped the headers around and was going to reuse them from there....I dont know what ever happened to the project. I think he did that cutting to shorten it and clear the steering knuckle on the drivers side.

Ive seen them on cars before...It wouldnt take much to keep them away from that....

I think cutting the flanges off and trimming it to fit closer to the head would work great...Man I wished someone had some pics of them reversed...I cant find a set to experiment with right now either...grrr
