5th gen doug thorley headers

I put out an order for 2010 doug thorley shorty headers for my iroc lsx 376 swap, but now i am not sure if they will work.Do you guys think this will clear the k member or any problems. They where on sale at phasetek for $470 shipped. Really good buy but now not so sure. I was going to try and stay with shorty headers this time around too. any thoughts?

Pass side should fit no problems. Drivers side looks close to the steering shaft

Anyways, why bother with shorties? Fbody cast manifolds flow about the same at $30-50 per pair. They fit great in a 3rd gen

I was just going for better looks, I might just try and spend the extra cash for lt headers, from hawks.
