Will a Jim Fab Xmember clear a 3" downpipe? It is a JDM B16 with An-R mounts? Search came up with yes and no, anyone have any experience?

which side is the compressor on? It'll be easy if it's on the driver's side. If on the pass. side, it's gonna be tight.

The downpipe connects on the drivers side

so the DP has to do a 180 and slide between the crossmember, turbo, and engine. Check this out.

Thats why I'm flipping the turbo. The DP will just have to bust a 90 and then go under the engine. The I/C piping would be very complicated too the other way (it was hitting the jimfab), but I'm going to go through the hole where the windshield wiper fluid is.

I have Drag intercooler piping and an SC61, so it should be fun thanks for your help though

LOL. Thanks for posting my downpipe... yeah, it's a PITFA, but it works, and it'll work well, eventually.

hehe, I had to. I've been following your car for a while because you are always 10 steps ahead of me.
