So by the looks of it, if the pipe was a smaller diameter where it passes the pot joint, that would allow the pipe to swing towards the engine a little bit more allowing the second bend to clear the subframe and give more clearance at the top lip of the subby.

Squashed the pipe for more clearance, got it down to 48-50mm

Can you rotate the flange on the turbo a little to bring the pipe more in the centre of the tunnel?

Matt i cant rotate it either way as it wont go any further due to it hitting the tunnel.

Ok, I think thats answered the question whether a 57mm pipe can be made to easily fit.

The downpipe passes the pot joint a little too far over, away from the diff side cover where the space is a bit narrow.

I think one of the main underling issues is that the manifold Nick has is an early version compaired to the latest one Matty usded to fabricate the manifold.

Getting the flexi pipe welded in tonight, thinking of welding it in at a slight angle to try and bring the pipe underneath a little more to the right in the tunnel.

Has a flexi welded in last night but this still didn't get it inline with the tunnel. Although it did help fitment a little.

How much further over can it go before the exhaust fowls on the gear selector? I have no gear selector on my car to measure from.

You have just over 1inch of space.

It's easy enough to move it over, I just have to angle the flare slightly more at the end of the pipe to bring it all across some more.

With a 2" pipe Matt you should get a fair bit of clearance. I will try get some decent photos today of what clearance i have got. |

that would be good to see Lee. The new downside will stop short of the selector, but obviously needs to be inline with the centre action that will pass the selector. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

The play mini system i have has a hump if you can call it that to get past the selector.

an LCB center branch passes down the back of the block and turns under the car around the diff side cover where there is plenty clearance. it is almost inline with the collector outlet, as the collector has a sort of dogleg to clear the tunnel.

Managed to get out to the garage, fit the selector and take a couple of pictures for you.

Ah yeah that's spot on Lee. It looks like mine is in the right position in the tunnel then, as yours looks like it runs well off the centre of the tunnel.

The Y piece could of been another 1/2" towards the selector to allow clearance from the body.
