I tried them with the Jegs mounts, Transdapt I think, and they would not clear the drivers side. If you make your own, and move the motor forward they should. I was told they clear but not sure what mounts.....

no
with modification anything is possible. the drivers side points right at the steering box, but if you switch to a manual rack then thats ok.
Both outlets extend to the middle of the front frame horns, but if you notched them out for it, (i may try this soon as it gets cold) they will clear.

have looked in to them, and am going to try finding a set this winter. I know the front manifold looks really nice, and puts the exit right above the heater hose nipples.
