ran into an issue swapping parts, need help ASAP! (pope DP clearance)

[VIPMSP]

ok so i'm swapping parts over from my silver MSP over to my new MSP (23)

FMIC went great, headlights, tail lights, piping...

when i got to the exhaust i ran into an issue. i want to keep the MAM exhaust mani and the GT28RS... but it looks like the pope DP won't clear the AC compressor w/ the GT28RS.

not tryna delete the AC really cause that would suck in this 90+ degree weather we're having this summer on a regular basis.

i really want to use the pope and keep my 3" perrin turboback exhaust. (right now the MAM/GT28RS is attached to the OEM exhaust and J pipe)

any suggestions?

I think you have to cut part of the mounting plate. Did you go through the post I thought there was a how to.

yes there's a part on the ac mounting plate that needs to be cut off.I hand sawed it, but an angle grinder or dremel would be faster.

got it thanks!

and i couldn't find the how-to... tired to search for it, but the search feature sucks

If you are really lucky like I am, the pope downpipe interferes with both the AC mounting plate AND the oil return flange. The MAM manifold strikes again!
