Default XS headers and dual cutouts

i know by bringing up the whole "ebay" header deal, I may start a fire, but this isnt about them really. I just bought a pair along with dual summit 3" cutouts and am having my shopguy put them on as we speak. since i dropped the car off two days ago he has called me more than a few times saying what a problem he is having mounting the cutouts. My car is not lowered and need any suggestions on how to mount them. He is just making me an ORY because i thouhgt it would be easier to get one to custom fit instead of getting one from TSP and then hacking it up for the cutouts. i need pictures or advice PLEASE!!

QTP has a dual cut-out Y. Have him copy the design. You can find it on their website.

the only problem i see in that is that the flange part (forgive me if im using the wrong term)on the drivers side is different from mine. it unbolts from the back while both of mine unbolt from the side. I dont really know metal so I dont know if it could be modified, but I will give him the information. thanks

I would not put the cutouts too close to the collector or you'll run into O2 problems with reversion.

Tell him to bash theshit out of the body and squeeze them in. The passenger side should be no problem at all, driver side might be able to fit right before it crosses under the rear of the tranny.
