Single Turbo Exhaust Options

Has anyone successfully got single 4" pipe out of the engine bay and hooked to a single exhaust system? The crossover pipe and manifolds will take up the space between the engine and frame rails on my build, so can you go down on the inside or outside of the wheel well area? Any info would be great.

Pass side with ac delete is the most available room for that but you need to make the header/manifold to work with it as it will be tight. Can oval the tubing some if needed. A tube K can free up alot more room for things

Re: Single Turbo Exhaust Options

Would it run down next to the frame rail or on the fender side? Do you have to use skinny tires for clearance? If this requires cutting the body, I'll probably do something else.

Inside frame. It may need some oval shaping to clear. Number 8 primary and the plug will need to be considered

Re: Single Turbo Exhaust Options

That won't work for me. The crossover pipe from the other bank comes up thru there. I was really trying to avoid a fender-exit setup for streetability and since most tracks require mufflers now. Such is the curse of the 3rd gen- no room for anything.
