Default STS Droptop with SFC Pics 56k warning

Well we finished up a STS kit on a convertible that already had sfcs on it, I didnt feel the need to remove the one so we went ahead and fabbed up a custom charge pipe with mounts. The Factory Y pipe actually sits 1/2 inch lower then this tube. You can barely even tell its there. Here are a few pics, we tucked the turbo kit way up there too.

So all the piping was fabbed or just the area by the SFC? Looks like you ran it next to the SFC and that still gave you clearance? Any pics of the turbo clearance? Thanks for the help

Default Clearance

Guys...this is my car and I don't have any pics of the turbo clearance but it isn't an issue. I got the car back from Outlaw on Saturday and haven't had any clearance issues at all...none, zero, zip. At work I have to go over two different speed bumps and haven't rubbed on them at all. Prior to outlaw working on it my crossover always rubbed.....doesn't anymore. They did a great job getting this to work for me. Now once we get the right amount of boost through this thing we'll be good to go!
