Post your pics of C6 manifold kits that keep A/C Just wanting to see some pics of C6 manifold kits that allow you to keep A/C.
Seems like its the perfect alternative over the truck manifolds, but for whatever reason not many people are using them.

That car is local. It was built by Anthony @ FastTrack ... very impressive setup.
I was hoping to find more people who have done setups like that.
Im wanting to use a T6 S480, S88/91, or GT-88/91... so i was wanting to see some setups with larger turbos on there.

Running the downpipes on the outside of the k-member like that, did it have any issues with clearance on suspension or tires? I've thought about y-ing the downpipe when i do my single build, that thats one the ways i was considering routing it for simplicity.
What size turbos are those?

The 6.0L/C6 Turbo setup is really nothing new. Just need a BMR Turbo K-member to gain the needed clearance.
I have done a few. A couple TC76 and TC78 Small frame units. Done one Mid Frame S88 build with a 4" DP. The install is getting finished up by the customer. He will post the pics up when he gets it done.

I already have a PA K-member... any reason why i would have an issue with that?
Im just curious why more people dont use them. You see truck manifold pics posted up several times a week. I guess people dont care about A/C like i do, lol.

Not with the 4". At least I didnt. There isnt enough perforamce gain IMO to justify keeping the front sway bar anyway. I havent had one on any of the last 8 4th Gen F-Body cars I have had.
The PA k-member like most other tubular units aside from the BMR Turbo K-member will not allow enough clearance for the C6 6.0L manifold setup.
As far as Manifolds vs. Tube headers. Guys are running mid 7's inte 1/4 with both.

Passenger side feed pipe. Over the K-member from the C6 manifold. Comes out right beside the A/C Compresser.
Your K-member doesnt have the Down swept tubes off the frame to the K-member.

but for the dragstrip its not a big deal.
i was wondering if you could fit it in with the front sway bar on cause it looks tight trying to loop it around it. wasnt sure the biggest you could fit with that on, i have seen a 3" pipe with it on, but thats it.

Nice thread, good pics. So is this a normal C6 passenger side manifold and a pass side truck manifold flipped on the drivers side? Are all of you running the DP through the drivers side?

i never like driving it on the street with the front sway bar off, the nose would come up way to high when taking off ramps and such.
but for the dragstrip its not a big deal.
