No, I'd do black/silver plus either the blue or red.

Hmm Black/silver would be pretty sweet looking! Especially when you popped the hood. I think I'll settle on straight black, keep it simple. Just gotta figure out how many straights, 45*, and if I'll need any 180* fittings to order. I figure about 20' of AN6 braided should do the trick, plenty left over for spare lines etc.

Well I made the final order today. Fittings and hoses will be here shortly. Turbo and all is installed. Down pipe doesn't even come close to fitting, had a 3" in there previously.

Why? Do you need to modify the 3" DP or the firewall to get it to fit now?

I will take a better picture for you where the bellows are placed on this set of up pipes, is right where the down pipe is supposed to go. Not complaining, but yes, I will like have to figure out another 1.5 inches of clearance to get the 3" in there, with the stock pipes I could easily fit a 4" after modifying the firewall as I will need to.


Not the gretest pic, but you can see the bellows hanging out right behind the head where the DP used to go. I can take a snap a picture of the top view if and PM it to you. It shows it much better.

Wow, that's some nice work you got going on in there! I see what you are saying though. Is the right bellow as far left as it can go? I've seen some with a bend in them around there to accommodate the DP.

The bellow is positioned where it is going to be (Passenger side?). This is all bolted up and positioned where its final resting place is. I have seen them with the bend as well. If the bellow were lower on that side (plenty of room to put it lower) Than the dp would be a breeze. Oh well.

What would be easier? Modifying the firewall, or pulling the up's and cutting them and welding a new bend in?

Firewall if you have a porta power... I do not but might have one shortly :-) I didn't pay for a set that I want to cut apart, I paid for them because I do not have the time to fab my own, not a lack of ability.

I hear you, it's convenience over cost.
