I'm trying to figure out the definitive answer to my quest for a 3" J-pipe/O2 Housing/ Turbo elbow that can be run WITH the air conditioning Compressor bolted to the engine. Do pictures exist of something like this? I have materials to create my own, but before I chew into this I want to learn weather or not this has been done and if there are pictures with this configuration. I have searched near and far but have not been able to find any pictures nor aftermarket options for this to work with the AC Compressor still attached. I live in Texas and I will not give up my AC. As of now I'm running a custom 3" exhaust bolted to the stock GTi-R elbow/j-pipe. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:biggthump

btw, it is a "Bell mouth" design that I'm looking to build, not plumb back.

its a tight radius so you will probably use pie cuts

the downpipe's on ebay aren't 3"?

If I recall you can get 3 inch mandrel j bends in as tight as a 3 inch center radius. I'll check tomorrow at work

the downpipe's on ebay aren't 3"?

well unfortunately the only one I was able to see pictures of was the split plumb back and or screamer version. Specifically I'm interested in the bell-mouth version which is similar to the stock form but 3" right off of the turbo outlet.

I'm in no hurry but if anyone knows someone who has done this and has pictures, I would be glad to learn more. Thanks!
