Default 3" Piping........

So I am going to be running the Precision GT35E with Inline Pro Manifold and I am planning on keeping my AC. Is there anyone that has pics of a 3" downpipe that will work with AC and not be too restrictive? Other option is just do a 2.5" to 3" off of the housing....

I don't want some ram looking thing under my hood!

j/k
I would run the full race that is compatible, but from pictures that I've seen it doesn't look like there is much clearance between the turbo and the AC condensor which I think would become a problem at a later time....

Easiest way to do it is to go from 2.5"-3.0". You can go to 3" from the turbine but it's a lot of welding labor and more trouble than it's worth.

why care about a/c when you can have a 3 inch d/p.

If you want to make a ton of power, sometimes you have to sacrifice. I love my a/c but im also not looking to make as much power as you. By the looks of your setup it seems as if your going all out, so i would buy a beater and just ditch the a/c.

I mean a beater will come in handy

if so your good to go.
4 bolt..youll have to say bye bye to you a/c since youll most likley have to turn the comp side to the drivers side(with a to4s cover)

Full Race has a manifold that allows you to use a 3.00" downpipe.

to a/c


to 3" downpipes and power

and look on the bright side, if you start with a 3" downpipe and you dont' like it, just hit a city tittie and bend it a little thats what i did!

Double121 just hacked at his existing shitty donwpipe and cut and rewleded it to run a full 3" with a/c and revhard manfiold. The angle isn't that great but it has plenty of clearance, i think he could have even left another 1" to have a better angle but whast done is done.

Im sure Chris has a few tricks up his sleeve though

I fill your pain on wanting to keep a/c. I look at it like this. It gets to hot where I live to be trying to drive around with no a/c. I went Rev Hard manifold.

How much is that gonna cost him...?

Brian, who cares about A/C... You work during the day, and at night you can roll with the windows down... Besides, last time I checked, 3" dp makes more power than a/c...
