Getting answers to such seemingly simple questions seems to be difficult, not with your products specifically just everything generally.
Here is what we have learned from this thread about the RB N54 EVO style RHD outlets: If you have your steering wheel tilted all of the way up- the steering shaft will come close to and/or rub the outlet. If you do not tilt the wheel all the way up or position it more straightforward, no issues. It is worth making it exceptionally clear however that these are the RB N54 EVO style RHD outlets (which are larger diameter), not the RB N54 standard frame style outlets (which are smaller diameter), meaning if you do not have our Super RB EVO generation of turbos (as the OP does) along with their affiliated RB EVO style RHD outlets then this thread in its entirety does not apply to you.

In short the fitment on the RB N54 Standard Frame High Flow RHD outlets is very good, if it were not we would have heard a ton of grief and we would not have distributors buying more and more across two continents.

Our product talk aside we do support an aluminum product as being superior when it comes to durability, longevity, etc. Fitment will be a bear, however, without making the setup numerous pieces and with each piece will require just another length of silicone for a coupler along with a couple clamps (and thus a couple more potential leak points). Ultimately it is going to be a difficult endeavor to do it most ideally, no matter how you look at it.

Thanks,
Rob
