Default "new" Dynatechs?

I'm seriously looking at buying a set of Dynatech 1-3/4" headers (no y-pipe) but a couple things bother me:

1- The stupid "hump" primary on the driver's side. Somewhere someone stated that there is a "new" style and I'm wondering if they removed this hump. I can not for the life of me find any pictures other than the "hump style". Have they been changed?

2- They don't seem to have a "collector" but rather a fast merge transition from the primaries to the 2-1/2" exhaust pipe (this size pipe/collector is preferable as I already have a 2-1/2" X-pipe dual exhaust on the truck). Issue?

Also, can they be ordered without AIR and EGR ports?

I'd sell you mine at a discounted rate. Dynatech Supermaxx headers only as you described. Just bought them in march. I'd have to replace them first though. PM me if interested.

Both are quality units. These r for your truck, right? I prolly have that older style u speak of. I believe changed after I bought mine. IIRC, mine have a hiflow merge style collector, w/ ball flange. Do u even care bout cats?

No cats? Then don't blow your wad on the dynas. I went with OBX, they've got the hump like the old dynas, but it's a non issue for me.
