RB RB25 Guys, SYKO Mount Kit + PBM Cobra Flexdownpipe Fitment Issues?

Hey guys, can anyone tell me from experience if the PBM Cobra Flex downpipe will fit with Syko mounts? I contacted Dan directly at PBM, since their site confirms it WILL fit with McKinney mounts, but he didn't know of anyone running a Syko+ PBM DP combo.

From all my research thus far, I've read that syko mounts drop the motor down further and back more than mckinney mounts, therefore making a more severe angle on the downpipe, which is why the syko downpipe has a close to 90 degree angle bend. The PBM flex doesn't have near that, so I'm wondering it it will hit the steering shaft. Any advice would be appreciated, just don't want to drop $400 on the downpipe and find out it won't fit. I'm sure with fab I can make anything fit, but I don't want to hack up a new PBM pipe unless we're talking about a difference of millimeters.

Just have someone make it. I've made a bunch of downpipes for rb25 swaps. They're pretty easy and way less than $400

I'm pretty sure it will work. Besides, if it doesn't, can't you just return it?
