I don't think the angles will match up, but I could be wrong. Try and see. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to use them?

i want to get these:

im getting a STS turbo, so i was gonna get my stock manifolds ceramic coated. but id rather get these for better flow, looks, plug access and coat them.

the y pipe area looks like it can be fabbed to fit the y pipe as it looks like its flared for slip fit or customizing. id probably have it flanged at a shop.

Might be easier to get a set of headers that have been proven to work on an F-body. I do like how these go up and back instead of down and back like a normal header, seems it would make changing plugs much easier. Try them and let us know how they work out.

not worth the trouble IMHO...

Dan is a great guy to deal with and he will help you out however he can, but just get some F-body specific headers. Heck, I'll have some to sell after I pull a motor from a 95 Z28 that I bought.

The STS turbo is the one that is behind the axle, right? Why not get longtubes?

i dont want longtubes, daily driver, yes the turbos in the back. i was gonna ceramic coat the stock manifolds but i saw these. i like how they dont have the emmision fittings on them, they look better then stock manifolds. ill wait and see how i decide on them. i may just coat the stockers.
