I emailed them too, maybe they'll answer one of us.
Yeah, I think I have a whole heap of wishful thinking going on.

You...you and me both.
I know I found a shorty set months ago, and now I can't find anything.
Someone here found an aluminum coolant tank months ago too, and if I search google, ebay, where ever, I can't find that either (I don't need that, just an example), so maybe there's hope for us yet.
Grinding your manifolds sounds good in the meantime.

I am going to source some good manifolds that have all the stud holes intact so I can get a good install, then port match them.

in the future, when I learn how to weld I will take on headers, high flow Cats etc.

At least I can get the exhaust not to hit a 2mm lip directly out of the head. On mine you can absolutely see the carbon just building up and creating less flow.

They'd look good bolted to the motor, but I think you'd want a pro shop to connect them down to the cats. I could be wrong, but I would be doubtful they'd bolt directly to the factory down pipes.

Not a big deal. A pro exhaust shop will know how to connect up the cats, but not a fully bolt-on, "just the price for exhaust headers" mod, either.

I would do this if I were going to install myself, and take my time, but I am not interested for the labor cost it would take.

Made cheap, too. The tubing is thin and the ball and cup collectors are useless. I cut them off in leiu of a slip fit collector. Only thing on the market though.

There is no realistic way to connect them to the factory y-pipe. Putting cats back in the factory location would also be quite difficult. Do-able, but a pain in the rear. I ended up putting my cats where the factory muffler starts and the muffler immediately after.
