I'm assuming your headers are the Kustom design. Since mine are the Bill Thomas design, I wonder if your collectors fall closer to the stock pipe location than mine. Once we got a good look we realized even re-bending the head pipe we still would not have a straight shot to the collector. We opted to cut the head pipes back a little further and have Eric G bend us some new pieces which worked-out great. Here's where he's at as of today:
