Default 940 3” dp?

Evening all, anyone got pics of their 3” DP. when using a top mount? I’m trying to pick the best route and seem to be hitting obstacles left right and centre!

What do you mean by top mount? Intercooler?

I have a 3" DP not currently fitted along with a stock one so could grab you some pics if that would help. My biggest problem was hitting the steering column so had to space my drivers side engine mount with a few washers for clearence.

Intercooler? It’s not an Impreza lol, been there done that. No I’m referring to the exhaust manifold.
It would seem to need a series of pie cuts or different radius bends welded together to clear the servo/ column/Brake pipe from master cylinder.
There’s plenty of room just no apparent direct gentle bend route hence my query as to whether anyone has pics of a similar set up please?

That makes more sense...! I was wondering.

Afraid i'm on a std mainfold so my pics wouldn't be of much help.

Interesting project though, guessing it's to fit a larger blower?

(And not to go too off topic, but which model impreza did you have? Always curious as to the wagons people ran before discovering the righteous way of the old volvo )
