Default ramhorn mani and keeping ac

i live in FL so i am dead set on keeping my ac. i am already using an hf manifold and a tdo4 turbo with my ac on a 93 ex. the down pipe is pretty restrictive cause if keeping the ac. i am planning to have a built engine finished sometime in march and i want to use a ramhorn manifold instead of the hf and probobly use a t3 instead of the tdo4. anybody know of any pics of cars with a ramhorn manifold with ac

im pretty sure its gonna be hard to find a ramhorn that fits ac, cuase they are big, unless you can find someone to custom make one for you and it whould look different cuase it chouldnt come up as far

i am considering making it myself so i know it fits, but my welds are about as sexy as kelly osborne. they hold but are ugly. im sure it cant be exactly the same length tubing on all the runners, but i would like to be pretty close

damn, thats some nice stuff but $1200 for a manifold is pretty expensive. i think ill make my own. maybe i will wait till summer so i can ride my bike while the car is down

I vote for you taking the shot yourself. You will have a great sense of accomplishment when you are done. Pretty isn't key. Strength is where its at.

yea, i knwo what you mean. i made everything for the kit i have now and it is awesome, even though its not that fast i have gotten a lot of props for making it all myself. it is way faster than it was before so i guess thats an accomplishment. lol

i guess i will just try to scrounge up an ac compressor thats no good and mock it up on an extra engine i have
