Just wanted to post back after getting everything installed.

I do not recommend these or the Hooker super comps as they are the same design. Way too tight in the engine bay. Already melted plug wires and i think my cruise control cable. Dammit.

on the underside, the driver side is nut up to the cross member. Their ypipe has a relief spot bent into it to clear the cross member. I do not have the ypipe, but you can clearly see the relief stamp.

Anyways, do not recommend. I'm gonna save up for some damn Kooks.

You'll have to be careful with Kooks as well when it comes to plug wires and cruise cables and especially a harness on the passenger side routing passenger O2 sensor, KS and assorted other things. If you use the stock sheaths that are bolted to the block for the stock plug wires you will not burn them as long as you stay away from anything above 8mm plug wires. The cruise cable I put behind a heat shield and is held in place with a zip tie. The harness on the passenger side goes between #2 and #4 primary and is zip tied to the high pressure line off the A/C compressor. Haven't burned anything in the 20 years I've had SuperComps.
