Stop in for a cup of coffee

Trying to fab head pipes (if that is what they are called) to connect a header back kit without the headers.

I think that spherical flare piece needs to be shortened then angled off to the rear a bit to clear the steering.

Seems like it will go around the starter and miss the torsion bar.
