Guys I know this has been mentioned more than a few times but it bares repeating, ground clearance is not an issue. The pics and video show our collectors at 3". Larger 3-1/2" collectors have to be taken into account which take up some of that clearance on the floor side.

Does anyone know if they will clear an Armondo or Aviaid oil pan?

My understanding is the video Jan posted is with 1 7/8" pipes and 3" collectors and only about 1/4" clearance between #6 pipe and the stock pan.   Doesn't seem like they'll work with an Armando or Aviaid pan without tweaking the pipe or the pan. 

But Nick did say he was willing to look at modifications if someone could provide a test vehicle with a wide-sump pan. 

Until someone tries it, tough to say if it will need much modification to work, so hopefully someone who's got a set and a road-race style wide-sump pan post details.

Thanks, RD

Guys in the video you're looking at our 1-7/8" setup. And yes I'll gladly ship a set of headers to someone within the lower 48 States that's willing to test fit them at no risk if they have an oddball pan and need to confirm fit. If they don't work, we take them back. Thanks.

Nick, I shipped my headers to Amsterdam,NY(not sure how close that is to you) where my engine is getting built. John is going to check fitment of the headers to oil pan. Right now we’re planing on modifying a stock pan if it doesn’t appear that the canton pan we planned will fit with your headers. We do plan to report back to everyone what our outcome is. Probly be another week or so though.

At 5-1/2" there's a mile of ground clearance. Thanks for sharing that Jan.
