Are you just running the stock Exhaust manifolds into a collector?

Thanks man im running a KB turbo kit it uses the stock header manifold on the driver side with a crossover pipe into a log style header on the passenger side.

Here's some pics courtesy of another post of how Kyles kit looks installed on a motor out of the truck...

Do the 2011 5.3 still come with cathedral port heads? I would hate for you to order a $1000 intake that wont fit, especially with the stories I've been reading about FAST return issues.
