I have seen guys use 2 x 2 1/2" pipes through the tight spots then merge back to 3 1/2", not optimal but may help.

Ill be taking 2, one 1.15 and one 1.32 and plan on testing them back to back to back with the 0.96 currently on my tc76 with all the exact same rest of the car. starting with basic spring pressure in my MG which should be right at 4.5 psi, im in to see the difference in dyno graphs.

Wow 6 damn. Yea be sure to update the price, I might have to get in on it if it gets much cheaper haha. Also when you call, ask if the new housings will bolt right in or if locations are going to change. And if they change, by how much. I'm thinking the 1.52 specifically.

I think the 3.5" would fit but it would be TIGHT. Doable though I think. I might have to change my dump tube though bc that's taking up a lot of room down there.
I run this battery. http://www.streettunedmotorsports.co...ll_battery.htm It doesn't work so well when it's <40* out, but it was fine DD'ing the car April-October.
