OTVC kit with factory exhaust? So I'm hearing that I'll be traveling through uncharted waters trying to get the Thunder Racing OTVC kit to work with the stock manifolds... I guess I'm gonna give it a try since it's already paid for 
Anyone think it can be done?

Well, I figure if worse comes to worse I can always put it back to stock by cutting the wires down to the stock lengths and routing them under. I just can't stand how the factory put these things! It's such a pain!

Yea, it's the solid design that causes the problems. You can't go behind, and going over, while possible, would look kinda tacky. The headers (any) have the huge gap between each exhaust port, where the wires go.

Yea, I was thinking of going over the manifolds... It might not look too awfull since I got the black wires, we'll see how adventerous I'm feeling 
The part I'm dreading is the routing from the opti to the VC, which at that point is the same as an install with headers... any hints on this?
