Routing of exhaust with single turbo

I am installing a single S400 on my car. It has a 5" down pipe. I am looking for ideas on where to route it under hood and under car.
Thanks,
Brit

Re: Routing of exhaust with single turbo

I saw a pic probably in the last couple months someone posted where they ran it back by the heater box/firewall. I believe he had to cut a radius into the firewall to get the pipe through there too. I'm starting to think I might go either under the k-member or clearance it somehow and sort of go through it.

I have a 4" Oval downpipe and it is a very tight fit.

I'm running a Turbo Buick engine and GN Style turbo. www.RJCracing.com makes standard GN adaptor for a 5" downpipe with elbow.
