Who is bmc? any website? Man I had no idea that love fabs don't work with 3" a/c dp. Now i gotta sell it.

Also, i think SFP manifolds supports a/c with 3"dp, does anyone know that for sure?

alright so i have to solutions to my problem:
1) sell the manifold and buy a SFP manifold.
2)Run the lovefab manifold with a 2.5 a/c comptabile dp.

My question is, if I run the 2.5 dp, i know the pressure will not be the same all throughout since my exhaust is 3" and the tip is 4".

Is that going to cause a power difference? Is it signifigance or will that be alright?

Just do a 2.5 DP start and flare it to 3" after you pass the AC compressor.

Thats what im doing with my Mini me manifold

Right on.

Got pictures of this SFP mani with a housing on the other side?

You will not notice any difference if you flare. See how shot my flare is?

usually muffler shops dont do mandrel bends. so if you are going to have one done at a muffler shop make sure that they have mandrel bends in stock.

any muffler shop can weld your downpipe together. Quality is the only question there.

Also, how do you get the 2.5" to flare to 3"? Do they make it like that or does somethign special have to happen?

Has anyone ever heard of this company? They have some very nice 3" tubular manifolds that will allow you to still keep a/c.
