reason why only comptech and XS headers fit for 6speed applications

i know it's general knowledge that only xs and comptech fit on the 6spds, but i've never actually seen a pic as to why it won't fit. so i'd figure i'd contribute.






installed the starter and the engine and tranny are slightly bolted, still waiting on more bolts on order.

yeah, i couldnt imagine installing these with the engine in the car, you have to install the headers a certain way with the engine mount bracket on, i was halfway tempted to take it off, but i got it.

Only thing you have to do is install it from top an them drop down in place.
I had to reinstall the header after i got the engine in during my swap
