So I'm planning on running a passenger side bumper exit downpipe but it looks like I won't be able to run a traditional intercooler piping setup if I do., at least based off of me eyeing it. Im still debating on 3 or 4", i know a 3" exhaust will give me more room but I think it might be a moot point, especially since everything will be so close that even with ceramic coating and heat wrap heat transfer from the downpipe to the cold pipe is inevitable.

Im running a PWR 12x24x3 core with centered 2.5" outlets... I guess I could convert it to dual backdoor.... and just move the radiator over as needed correct? If anyone has and photos of a bumper exit downpipe/intercooler piping setup please post, I need all the visuals/advice I can get.

my only other option is a hood exit exhaust and any and all opinions are welcomed

The reason being is my car is too low to run a 3" exhaust under the oil pan unless I went with oval piping which is way outside my budget and even then I think it wont work...
TIA

 

No one?

 

and a drivers side exit is out of the question?

should only need a backdoor exit at the passenger side tough

 

I ran into this issue with my dumptube. I wound up doing a drivers side exit and put heatwrap on it. Pass side exit is tough unless u want to go out the fender

 

If I flip the turbo it will touch the block (S housing) my intercooler endtanks aren't long enough for a Backdoor setup but if I cut the outlets off and weld on 2 tight.90* turns.I.can.just trim some sheetmetal out of the way and.the.inlet outlet will come out in.what would be a Backdoor position. This should allow me to run a 3" downpipe out of the passenger side of the bumper.
I don't know if I want to do a bumper exit dumbtube yet or not.

 

I'm all for the hood/side/under downpipes, but if your car is too low to run a 3" exhaust then that's just dumb. Raise the car
