I have them and they fit good. Keep in mind that is WAS necessary for me to unbolt/loosen motor mounts and jack up motor a little to fit. I had help with 2 friends to put them in. They took them out of a friends car, sold them to me, and helped me put them in, so I was screwing around with other things, and didn't see how all was done. They had a system that made it easy. One side goes from above (I think, but don't quote, the driver side. And the pass. side from below.
As for fit in 5 speed, no rubbing or hitting anything. BBK makes a good product. I have the cat h-pipe, so yours should fit that much better. The flowtubes (flowmaster 3 chamber) fit fine. Keep in mind that you will lose some ground clearance. The headers come down low, but tolerable. The price you pay for longtubes! BTW, I gained alot of torque and some top end back when I had stock heads and cam and no blower.
I had Mac equal length shortys before, so I guess that is a close comparison. I definately noticed a pleasant difference. Smog pump removal does make life easier, but will work fine with long tubes.Sound and performance wise. Don't know about your clutch. I have a RAM.
