Have you looked under an auto before? Not much room to route it. Its not totally under it, just from the side of the pan.

unless you run small pipe under there , I see no possible way to keep exact clearance, or to do any better than what I ran? but you always can learn something new i guess! I mean we came out with the 2.5" pipe tucked up in there very well - hardly reducing clearance, like he said 1/4" off the tranny (to keep from rattle, etc) and it is routed to the center of the car away from the pan, right along the black bottom brace... what size pipe do you have under there, and pics?

I'm not trying to be a pain in the a$$ but I've seen the PFI kit and just wanted to see how you guys solved the difficult problem...
If it is such a big secret, he shouldn't be asking to see how PFI did it...

The new piping is run completely different from the manual tranny piping. Hal is right, no room under the car which is partly why this particular project took so long. Nothing hangs down now on the automatic. The first thing that will hit is the center crossmember and there's not much you can do about that! The piping is way shorter than the manual version which may help spool quicker.

unless i go 5speed swap i doubt i have enough clearance for the turbo piping... even with 5speed the piping still sits lower than the y-pipe now, so with my 1.5" of clearance on the y-pipe now what hope is there?
some people would say, just dont drop your car all the way down.. and thats retarded.

My daughter got diagnosed with diabetes about a 15 months ago (like me, 31 years of it) and she has been delegated as the ambassador of Texas for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. They have 200 kids that are going to talk in front of congress (put a face with the diseases) to try to get the goverment to alocate more money to finding a cure. The goverment has the funds but don't alocate them to Diabetes.
We will be there for about a week.

I'll give you a ride when you roll down. Good luck with your daughter. 3months ago I fought oral cancer. Scary, but hopefully it is all out now.

How much clearance does it eliminate? I'm sitting on GC's so I am kind of low in comparison...

Clearance? eliminates none for the 5spd as it tucks up in there well (same height as the black factory piece).. auto, I am not sure exactly how much it reduces it by, but not a lot...
still waiting on pics to see how this auto kit has exact clearance? and dafro you said "the pipes are a little smaller than the normal 5-speed kit", what size are the normal 5spd kit and what size did you get? I am still boggled on how you could get a 2.5" downpipe like mine to fit anywhere without losing any clearance..
sorry, the only pic i had ever seen of pfi's was only up for a day or two and was hanging very low , non-mandrel bent downpipe? I dont know the story behind that though - - just curious to see the better version now?

Serves him right for ripping people off. My piping is mandrel bent and made with aluminized steel.
2.5" y-pipe/up-pipe and 3" down-pipe.
