no we did have to sacrifice one bolt to get it to clear. but its been on his car since november and it hasn't leaked yet. I can't tell if your being sarcastic or serious but who cares. I did what I could do with the space available. I think it turned out ok. once we wrapped it with exhaust wrap it had a little less than a credit card width from the compressor to the dp. the dumptube was quite a task as well.

Re: downpipe clearance SUCKS

This is my attempt at searching, I found this old thread and decided to bring it back to life rather than start a new one. I'm in doing the same thing and would like to see some pics of completed dp's with a/c. help a nig nog out.
