Pre cut pieces and a pre made collector is likely to be the first problem for potential problems.

The pre cut pieces, more then the collector. We use pre cut collectors. Any who, good luck with it.

Yeah...I just mean, using the two together requires alot of precision for everything to just go together. Unless that's a jigged setup that is cut, I just can't see it fitting perfectly like you need.

Where'd you get this setup?

with that being a short length collector and being splayed so far apart.... i see you having to cut the 90s to make fit. When you have 5inch or so long collectors that are very steep in fitment, you rarely ever, it not EVER have to cut anything

I bought a DIY ramhorn kit from rld-fab around a year and a half ago. It was a pain in the *** to get everything lined up correctly but I didnt have to cut anything to make it work.

Im pretty sure it was around $350. He doesnt sell them like that anymore though. I was thinking to myself that it was pretty cheap and then like 6 months later that kit wasnt for sell anymore. I guess he was thinking the same thing.

Looks like your runners may hit the valve cover.
