They don't fit around the truck accessories, like they do the F-bodys, you would have to swap to F-body accessories. Plus you have to relocate, or ditch the AC like they do.

Not true. I have them on my truck. All accessories are in the stock location including AC. You have to relocate a few wires, coolant lines and swap to electric fans. Its was actually pretty easy.

Ok, kyle is talking about swapping the manifolds from side to side, and facing them foward. Quicksilverado is talking about flipping them over. You guys are both right, but you're talking about different approaches to stock manis.

here is where I am at, I know it looks like crap...but the price was right
Driverside manifold, then crossover running along the top merging into the flange. I was going to cut a T6 but I think a MP would fit the budget better. I am going to use the heat shield bolt holes to mount it together, then wrap it in black tape

Ya, Dan asked about doing like the F-bodys do, and that's forward and down. Forward and up they fit with some relocating and heat shielding of the coils, but personality, I don't think it looks very pretty. That's why I did it the way I do it, To me it just looks a lot cleaner.
