12a header that stay closest to block?
I wanted to keep the exhaust manifold for this engine swap that I'm doing but it sticks out way too far from the block. Does anyone know of a header that makes the bend pretty sharp or am I going to have to make one?

You might have to make one. Sharpest I have seen is the RB setup, streetable. Not sure the the streetable and streetport setup are the same.
Why would you want to make it have a sharp turn? Not too good for ezhaust flow to have a 90* bend right out of the housing, like the RX8.

I might have to make a box like the OEM manifold and have a 3" pipe come out of the bottom rear corner of it. That may be better than making a header that bends too tight.
Thoughts on that?

It's not really about "wanting" I don't have the space for anything else. The unibody "frame" is right there

I have the RB header on my car and can measure the distance from the block to the furthermost point in the header.

What car will you be swapping it into? Also, since you have found the need to have a "short" so-to-speak header, do you have any pictures or measurements that you need?
