i think the fd greddy elbow would end up facing the back of the car.



just cut the #5 pipe is works, with no ill effects
Why do you think this? Or were you just being funny? Cause if you look at a 3rd gen and 2nd gen the TB's and elbows are on the smae side fcing the same direction.

I think with this one I was just thinking to far outside of the box. I think I'll just cut it and have the local radiator shop put in a beed.

I wasnt aware of the oil filler neck thing, but I can definately see where it would be a problem. I cut and rewelded my TII oil filler neck. It now sits just above the CAS.
I used a GSL-Se filler neck and cut and welded it.Now it sits under and off towards the firewall.Looks good with my billet oil cap too.

I cut ~1.5" off the TB side of the last pipe and re-welded it to the other side of teh pipe. That shifted the whole pipe in a back a bit. It lined up perfectly for me. I do not currently have a bead welded on the TB side. But on the dyno this weekend we boosted 20psi with no problems.

J9fd3s: thanks. I never really looked at that. I guess I'll just cut off the last 1 to 2 inches of pipe 5 to get it to fit right.
