Thanks :-)
It was tough deciding on whether to fab stainless headers or mod flipped manifolds. In the end I decided on manifolds because I thought they would have a slight advantage in terms of transient response due to less internal area. I also thought it may make for a quieter engine due to thicker wall material.
Anyway, I used 2010 Camaro SS manifolds, flipped cut and modded with schedule 40 pipe. The backside of the compressor covers are even with the front of the engine block. Both turbos placement in relation to the engine are identical to each other.
They will look nice once the gates are plumbed in and everything is finish welded and ceramic coated.

Not sure on the heads. Was going to use ETP but don't have enough valve cover clearance so probably a stock ported casting.
The car is body #70.
