    LX9 front manifolds and boost

    I've seen a few people using 2 of the front exhaust manifolds for turbo builds but only in RWD applications I believe, has anyone used them in a FWD setup? Debating on trying to build a crossover for my 03 Grand Am, have a 5spd swap as well so that frees up some space in the back

      would work good for a TT setup.. one off each manifold. but for a single it might not be the best option. I have 2 front manifolds for my LQ1 single turbo setup.. it faces both outlets to the drivers side and makes a "Y" pipe collect into the turbo.. (like stock TGP Setup). these manifolds face down so it would work well to hang a small turbo off each... thats about it.

          Not sure if I would have the space for a twin setup but either way these should flow better then log manifolds I think

              That front one on the back would be aweful close to hitting your rack, wouldn't it?

                  shouldn't I don't think, not sure how familiar you are with my generation N-body but the rack mounts fairly low on the subframe


                  shitty pic but should clear I think

                      I think you are right. I think the older n body cars they mounted to the firewall, that's why I mentioned that.

                          I kind of have a feeling it would still fit as this setup came out of a sunbird gt.. guessing they probably have similar rack setups
