Kit on my car is a passenger manifold flipped forward on the driver side with the turbo hanging off it and a manifold on the passenger side facing backwards with the crossover wrapping around the Tranny and merging before the turbo on the driver side. I'm not a fan at all of the lack of ground clearance but I bought it this way. I wouldn't choose it if I'd built the car myself

I think really one of the main reasons truck manifolds used over the stock fbody ones is that the truck ones dont have egr ports on them.

With Stock manifolds??? Only way you're doing that is Rear Mount.


One option though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-Hot-Side...item1e653b208a


From thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...bo-header.html


Good Luck!

i did my first kit using stock manifolds facing the stock way. had to route the driver side under the engine/tranny mating point to a merge on the pasenger side. i have pictures but not on me right now. it's really simple
