I don't believe that risk is worth it unless a vendor verifies it will fit. Only other thing you could do to clear it if it hits is heat up the header and bash it in, but then whats the point cause your hindering performance. Just some thoughts

but i think that the long tubes headers would give a better gain then just some shorty headers, especially on the top end
depending on my financial situation when the headers are actually released, i could be willing to test that out for the HR community, kinda like u did with the stillen headers. alot of people were telling you that there wouldn't be any gains with the stillen headers, but you still went through with it

I had cams in my last car, and it was great, but it had cold weather idle issues (at startup) among other things that made it annoying, our engines are much more sensitive than what my car had, I wouldn't dump 3k at it for the minimal gains. Nitrous would be more effective, less expensive, and about as dangerous.

...i know its not the best bang for the buck but my true dual exhaust gave me 7whp and 7trq and it cost $1000 headers including install is similar pricing so i mean if you look at it that way its worth it?
