It won't fit unless u bang the curve part in so it can clear the steering shalf. Been ther done that bro. It'll vrack afterward too if you try it.

I was told PFS used to sell one that had the flattened pipe that appaeared very similar to the HKS.

I have HKS, and I can attest to the flattened side, I like it cause it has a cast manifold end to it, which seems to do better under the heat stress.... try and find a picture of the hks, and you'll see exactly why the pettit one, won't fit...
