  • exhaust question for turbo guys

    How did you guys get around the low clearance issue when running a 3 inch exhaust all the way back? I have about 2 inches of clearance.

    I am having my pipes cut up for a custom fit to my 3 inch.

            if you look in my "need help fast" thread i ran into a issue too about clearance. Turned out to be the hardest part pretty much about the turbo. What side does your downpipe come down off the turbo...right or left?? (which way do you have the turbo mounted)

              mine comes down off the passenger side of the car. I was thinking about removing the ac like ravenp did but wasnt sure it would fit. If you have some pics of this could you please send them i would like to see them

                    i was gonna take my AC out cause i have t-tops also, but that was a last resort if i couldnt get the turbo or anything else to fit...you should see if u can make it work without taking the AC out also

                            Open downpipe sounded pretty good for me. I never really worried about exhaust, I enjoyed hearing my turbo spool up so loudly.

                              Mine used to scrape all the time. Now I have SLP SS springs and Bilsteins so it doesnt scrape as bad as it did before.
