My understanding of the block huggers is that the dump right above the centerlink and some very tight and cramped plumbing is needed to clear it.

Hedman makes a midlength header that looks similar to the block hugger above but the collector angles back, pn 78070 is one. Problem is while it has 1 3/4" tubes the collector is 2 1/2".

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
