OBX long tubes with Spohn TH400 crossmember

Hi,

As the title says. I've got the passenger side headers in, but the extension piece looks like it is going to foul badly with the cross member. Has anyone else had experience of this? Thanks :)

Re: PCV Set Up for Supercharger

They are both on the drivers side. The breather is a filter, the pcv goes via a catchcan then to the intake. The catch can is a cheap one, probably not doing the job.
