do you have an auto trans?

[ooimpalaoo]

my tranny is manual its a T5 so i have the through out bearing arm in my way too

[69gmcc10]

I was afraid of that. The T5 makes it complicated, what do you think about going back to an exhaust manifold and running the exhaust pipe between the frame and the tire in the fender and beside the outside of the frame?

I agree with 69gmc, or get the langdon stovebolt cast headers and run it to the outside of the frame rails like he said. I have them on my 292 inline and they are nice and short so they will give the muffler shop plenty of options. good luck!
