Default Should i go 2.5" or 3", or answer the question to concrete the 3"...

Yes, it is a long title . I have a maxrev manifold and am wanting to do a setup like Cheezefrogs. the problem is this, i will be getting a 5 bolt sc34 and i am not sure if i will be able to go 3" and keep A/C(i live in NM, im allowed to have it ). so if anyone knows the answer to the question "will it fit" let me know. i have to decide exactly which cutout to get by tonight(friday) when the GB order is sent in for the cutouts and i dont want to be wishing i had known the answer before and regret having ordered the 2.5".

thanks. for friday.

Normally 3" DP will not clear AC. You made the right choice IMHO.

Really the only way that I know of to have 3" and keep the A/C is to have a 2.5" downpipe flared out to 3" after you clear the AC compressor.

yep, thats the only way to do it if ur running a 5 bolt. St00pid was able to do it on the 4 bolt. I really don't think having 1ft of 2.5" is gonna hurt you too bad though.
