No but in all seriousness, hopefully this is a small hurdle, and you are one step closer to having clifford back on the road!

Yup. Once you get that firewall opened up you'll have loads of room to fit that downpipe. Then it's just making that downpipe lol.

There's only so much room to open up. I thought he said earlier he's only doing a 3 inch, but I bet it still involves tunneling

I think you were thinking someone else. We'll see what he actually does

That sucker's gonna have to bend immediately if not sooner no matter the size. I know how mine is and I had quite a bit more room up top..

Lol. I know what you mean. I had to tighten up the bend off the turbo on mine too and that was just off a 38r. It should be interesting lol Name:  F46E6353-C454-4A13-916C-53A095FC64C1_zpsigewfoz9.jpg

Well,I got the do in along side the up pipe. The vband clamp was not on and collector was out. The vband is just in the way.
I removed collector and up pipe and hacked it all up. I moved the vband way up as far as I could right at the bend. We will see tomorrow how that works. Before I put the turbo back on I am going to touch up a few things on the plenums.I need to install them and get intercooler plumbing and intake built. Asap

Just something I don't need to keep up with. I have a guy locally that could do it. I might get it powder coated chrome ..not sure.

I am anxious to get that up pipe in and see if it clears now. I think I am going to just tack it together and try it before it is all stuck together. The bellows end is getting short.may not have another try left on it.

I feel for you now Aaron, what your doing is not fun at all. I would rather tear a motor apart of whatever. Trying to fit those pipes in is a B!
