ream04,

piping comes up right under the motor mount. the pipe there is 3". I used the BBk dual 2.5" to 3" merge section as the joint between both sides. its a tight fit but it does fit with plenty of clearance. I do have an aftermarket K-member though.

number1,

downpipe is 3.5" until right behind the K-member. Haven't gotten past that point yet. Will probably be ovaled 4" or split into dual 3" slightly ovaled from the down pipe. I'm working on finishing up in the engine bay right now.

Few more pics... You can see the routing of the 3" here. last picture you can just barely see the mount I made that the turbo bolts to so the weight is not on the exhaust pipe.

have you made sure it fits with your stock accessory bracket there?

 

Looks good. I will have to see what I have to work with. My goal is to keep everything including the ABS, but that might not be possible.

 

yep .5" clearance on bracket and .7" clearance on steering rack. Hard to tell in the pictures but I made sure there is plenty of room for everything I even managed to get a decent inlet setup for the turbo!
