Default F body LS headers that collectors are straight back & not cocked to the side?

Are there 98-02 F body headers that the collectors do not **** outward like the Pacesetter headers do? Would prefer straight for my G body swap project.
thanks

All the ones I have used (hooker, pacesetter, kooks, arh) have all been pointed towards the driver side on the outlet of the left header. It is for clearance for the y pipe. It's easy to modify them if you have a torch.

I have heard that from a couple people now. I just didnt think I would be able to bend it, but if multiple people say it can be done, then I guess it can be done. I guess I need to go get a torch somewhere.

I'm on the cheap so I grabbed a set of OBX headers off of a wrecked 4th gen. Spent a little time moving a tube or two and corrected the angle issue on the drivers side and Viola! Custom headers that fit my 1st gen home made chassis. Here's what I did.

Default How about an X-body

So the driver side collector can be bent and the 98-02 f-body headers work for a G-body and A-body cars. Any chance if you know if these headers would work on an X-body Nova?

Try the BRP headers made for the '94 and up S10.
