Default DIY Turbo plumbing ?'s (location) Parish?

06 Silverado 5.3.

Going w/ a Gt37 using stock log manifolds. Trying to decide if i should run pipes under k member. 3in downpipe would go along pass side to the outside of the framerail. It would then have to go under it. Thats kind of low. Its cheaper this way but is their a better way to do it without losing stock manifolds, ac, running under truck. Thanks.

dont mean to b a newb asking questions but its hard to find (pics ) of another way.

with stock manifolds you can even fit a 4"dp down the passenger side on the INSIDE of the frame rail, trust me. a 3" will fit no problem. you can see a pic in my sig. I have log manifolds now but i used to have stock ones flipped and still had the room. its really tight, but fits fine.

i just couldn't see a way to run from the manifold to the turbo and put the turbos where i wanted. i didn't get as far as looking at a down pipe.

My hot pipes are very similar to parish's old set up. There are pics in my sig if that helps.

You guys do very nice work! I checked out all those pics, I hope to join the club soon . If space was too tight against the frame would a piece of that oval muffler tubing work? It would be about a $60 idea by the time you bought two adapters and a straight piece but it might fit good.
