I've already contacted them and I am waiting on their advice. Ideas on how to make it work are already worked up. I need to find a local shop with a true mandrel bender I think. Here goes:

Small update. Here is a pic of the pipe that I received:
Here is where I am at using my own collection of S-Bends (mandrel) from Flowmaster, combined with the ends of the JBA pipe. You can see I have 2 cross braces tacked in to hold the shape while the unit is off the car and I drill and mount the crossover:
I should flip one to show just how dramatic the difference is. Like I mentioned in my other post (or meant to) it's becoming more and more common for manufacturers to insist some modification will be necessary on your part (this is a BS out --- not at these prices should this be true).

Beats me. Mine are in the tunnel (mostly, IIRC) and I dont have these issues. Of course, I dont have a big fat AOD case and pan to fit in there either

Geez, that stinks. How big is that driveshaft anyway? I know folks that have 2.5 inch pipes that fit in 65-66 verts. How many kewl points would you lose if you went back with the stock driveshaft? Of course, that's only ONE of your problems.
Note for lower class fastback and coupe owners: Verts have a heavy plate that connects floorpans. The driveshaft and exhaust pipes must fit between tranny tunnel and this plate.
It sure takes a lot of patience to be the first one on the block.

This plate also requires additional pans under the seat pans that square the tunnel off and give up further tunnel width.
