Good to know. Have no problem clearancing the fire wall. I have the Pacific Fabrications crossmember. Have yet to even test fit the motor and trans (LSA/6l90) Have to wait until I get truck back now. Looking at the DT mid length tri-y headers. Seen some info that passenger side clearance is an issue with these as well. Want 1 7/8 primary's and full length usually hang to low for me.
