Easiest way is drill then file.

yeah.. I figured..   
just swept and vacuumed yesterday too... time for more aluminum to fly..
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

mocked up the mastercraft seat last night and albeit comfy, it’s a tight job in there...
stock brackets might not cut it, expensive suspension seats might not cut it…
trying not to get hung up on this and deal with it later..

Couple of threads I've been reading mention a shorter version of the seat from a side-by-side, ie: RZR.  They give you about 3" more leg bend room.  Don't know if that's where the space is needed.

These jeeps were tight from the get go..
Using a high back seat may not be the best thing without modified seat brackets..

It's the huge school buss wheel and non tilting column that are an issue.. not to mention the small door opening, short legs and growing thighs of the operator.

Stopped in a few times over the last month or so but typically after normal business hours is Robin not there anymore?

Thanks for getting James the part #.
I can't see the mating surface in photos but these do mate to factory manifolds?
I'm not familiar with the stock design
The flanges that cora had were home built by the previous owner and we're warped and never sealed correctly.
Was planning to buy these and cut them up for the flanges and pipe ends.

ill take some pics.. I should be all buttoned up with this shortly..
I am using the stock heat riser however...
the Y pipe will bolt directly to the factory manifolds regardless, just need to use the same gasket on each side vs the flange setup...
