Those are made of thin ga S/S and they would definatley sag over time. You could get around that by fabing up some flexible braces though.

Im sure that would last The plug wires wont fit plus the angle would be wrong. I would rather build my own...

might have to put the coils on the bottom,but as far as i know all coils known to man only have 2 wires going in/out then a plug wire, so relocation wouldnt be too bad, Wheel to wheel flipped the stock header over on the turbo side for there truck setup and got it to work somehow?????

HEY, Those turbo flages don't have the two ports, just one big port.

Im not sure yet but more than likely I will still seperate them. Im debating on runing all 4 into one like a shorty header.

It seems like in general, its like the fast and the furious has just hit this site, back 2 years ago after that movie came out everyone had a turbo honda or eclipse, not everyone has turbo/super truck...
and how fast is your truck
