Default Turbo headers

I have a 94 Camaro Z28 with 5.3. Got a set of flowtech turbo headers to run in the up and forward configuration. Test fit them today and they are hitting the fender, hard Flange is probably 1/2" away from sitting flush. Before I start hacking I want to know if there is a set I can order that for this car with this motor, or if the best thing to do is hack up the fenders. Please help. Forum search and Google searching came back inconclusive.

Take the time and research different brands. There has to be a set that will fit without hacking the actual car up. As for relocation.... That's just part of the game. Don't hurry things. It's pretty difficult to reverse the hacked up effect.

If you're not worried about looks, then find some stock manifolds. LS4, GTO, C6, F-body, Truck, etc. All will fit different. All will likely make way more power than you are shooting for.
