Has anyone without an elaborate turbo setup routed their VH exhaust from one bank in front of the engine? The stock exhaust headers fit perfectly but I'm looking at adding a new suspension setup where I could use the space where the driver's side manifold sits.

I'd like to pick up an extra passenger side exhaust manifold, and weld the tubes to my driver's side flange and route the exhaust around the front. It would then meet up with the passenger exhaust tube and be a 3" all the way back. Anyone else done it?

I've got my turbo behind the LH headlight and the feed from the RH bank goes between the radiator and the engine. I have custom manifolds obviously though. The only problem I have is how close the exhuast is to the cams sensor so there's extra heat shield made to cover all this up.
