There is far more room there then it seems. You could do it with just standard radius 2" od x 3" radius no problem. We still build tons of 3000GT parts we developed ... damn near 5 years ago now.
if i was making my own downpipes also, then it would be very easy, but i am trying to make this fit stock and aftermarket pipes

Wow last time i bought 50+ of sch10 short radius 1.25 elbows they were less the $10 each ... I better buy more before they clue in 
I think this is a great idea, the only problem I see is with the leg length. The advantage comes when you can completely eliminate needed to cut/weld a straight section, the problem is depending on the heading it can range from 1" to 6"
Either way I'm keeping an eye on this for next time I remake my personal header. If it goes well I might even put the silly thing into production

Doing them blind .. Yikes when you dont know the car. They don't have to be anywhere near that tight. Just make sure you hit the outlet location with just a standard 2.5" 2 bolt universal exhaust flange, that will allow you to mate up to stock and aftermarket downpipes. We have literally built hundreds of o2 housings for that car, trust me you don't need a bend anywhere near that tight.

We are going to mass produce the 1.5" leg, but we are going to stock some odd ball leg lengths.
