I'd probably do a coil relocation before I put a cover on them. Just saying....

TSP 2" F body frame notch gets pretty huge by the time there is no more contact with the frame. With the lower/outer primary sitting 1/2 - 3/4" deep into the hole towards the front, and the upper/outer with about 1/16" clearance to the frame. 3.5" collector does not have the nasty step/crimp as on the 3". Lots of clearance on the driver's side, but the collector is angled toward the frame
