Default Custom side mount headers

Any one out there make, or heard of, sidemount headers that come over the frame and along the door as opposed to under the frame and under the door? I understand that this would require shortening the primaries and trimming the bottom of the door, but I am looking into doing this. Mine would be coming out of the lower fenders as well, as close to the bottom as I could. It would give me quite a bit more clearance, especially once I lower it!

If you want to pay some crazy money,cause I am VERY proud of them...I think I have what you are looking for.I have the only set of these there is like this on a vette.There was a car on ebay awhile back that tried the same thing,but he had one single big pip,and thought it looked cheap for the 200k they were trying to get out of this 69.It's all in the detail of the headers/pipes,or I think so.

I made a custom adapter between the Headman headers to the patriot pipe.
