Norval tested some spark plug extenders with an adjustable angle at the end...maybe those would do the trick to avoid hitting the headers.

Make sure your current won't jump from the plug wires to the header. Good luck

A 4 inch hole saw and dump the exhaust through the hood. Let them turbo's peak out a little. with a totally stock looking body. It will scare the SH*T out of the ricers. A N20 bottle and a purge nozzle, just for show

Sorry to stray off topic, but are those stock C4 exhaust manifolds with A.I.R. tubes? If so, what year C4s can those be found on?

Can someone with a 12" ruler measure the distance from the heads to the steering mechanism, and from the exhaust down to the motor mount.
