Question up and forward turbo headers from OBX ????

what do you guys think about these with twin 52-60mm turbo's?
they are 1.7/8" to 3" v bands

We need some installed pics. Does it clear all accessories?

They look nice to me. Are you set on twin turbos or why not just 1 bigger turbo?

This would even be good for a front single if you wanted to run the crossover pipe in front of the engine similiar to how spoolin did his.

Only problem with those is if they are the same specs as the SW headers they don't leave much room for turbos. They collector comes up right up to the fans. Quick had to cut them up a little and run the turbos sideways as there is NO room for downpipes the normal way.

id cut the hell out of them ... they are 500$ and wont hurt to mod them to suit my set up

i wont jump on them just yet , im researching every thing from hot side to coolers to fuel

if i did ill be aiming for 600whp. is that resonable on a 5.3 5600lb with stock 6l80e ???

are there any mods to that trans that i can do without opening the hole thing up
