I don't see a chance of it working without modification. The Pace Setter collector is too close to the floor. The curshed Y pipe is mandatory.

I was curious about that as well, seems like it could be a good combo...cheap but effective LTs with a proven, great flowing ORY if it would fit.

I don't know about the Jet Hot and Hooker but here is my Pace Setter with my S bend so I didn't have to use the crushed drivers side pipe. No way it would work without dropping the piping down.

They are copies. Computer controlled, automated equipment is used to measure and copy and fab the same thing. I'm sure there are tolerences similair to those of headers built by the same people and equipment. They are all so close, the differences are negligable.
