Default 3" downpipe questions anyone do it!??!

Is it possible to fit a 3" downpipe into my A/C'd integra?

Is it possible to MAKE a 3" 90deg ELBOW mandrel bend?

"NO" would be my guess on both of these....Just wondered

Air conditioned? From the factory?! I dunno man, it'll be hard, with the exhaust piping being a completly different part of the car...

It totally depends on the manifold and turbo placement.

Check on Honda-Tech.. I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere else that you have a Greedy kit.. someone on H-T makes them.. not sure about the A/C though, chances are you will have to ditch it to go that big.

And if you ARE, then the car is more track oriented than street and you should probably have a 2nd car anyway. If you MUST have it all, look into an a/c compatible manifold, they are out there, but they are very pricey
good info

But how about a 2" DP!!! thats what my POS is! a 90deg ELBOW 2" to a 2.5 to 3
btw: the 2" elbow is about 3-4 inches long
