I can only speak for round port Hedmans in a second gen. The 1 3/4 tubes both sides hit the firewall BAD no way they would ever fit. Sent them back to Hedman-"fit's our jig you must have moved the engine back in the frame". I wanted that size for that motor so we cut off 2 tubes each side and made our own.We also straightend the angle of the collector out as it opinted uop at the floorboards.

Tried a set of theit 1 7/8 -collectors pointed at the tranny -they at least corrected that when I sent them back.
