Default I would measure them for you (they're sitting in a box, unused) but I am at work.

Can you wait?

It can be lifted enough to install greentops. I didn't fully remove my fuel rail to install them.

Default If it helps, the greenies use a 0.250" thick spacer, not sure how much more you can go...

but I do seem to remember fairly decent clearance to the bottom of the ypipe (your only obstacle IIRC) & don't forget about the pheny spacers as well; this could also come into play with the bi-pipe.

Overall I presume, just be sure to compare seat lengths, before you make spacers.

Default I'll measure them and post a new thread on it.

I have the Ford Motorsport 42#@3bar injectors...Just so we are clear, these are the greentops you speak of?
