Is the skinny Treehouse lollipop a must?

[WhatWentWong]

Has any body had any sucess doing a 24V swap and managed to get the required clearances for the downpipe(s) with the stock control arm lollipop housing, and didn't have to go to the Treehouse Skinnies? I just got Powerflex ones in there less than a year ago, would rather not tear it up.

What was your header / DP choice?

Cheers

i did, I just modified the down pipe to clear it, Ive got about 10mm of clearance now, Just enough for the heat shield. Now its time for a CAB upgrade and im thinking Treehouse lol.....

I've running s52 manifolds with a custom downpipe and have no problems clearing with the stock CAB mounts.

That's right. I've seen it done. On my daily driver...

Well, stock control arm bushing brackets. I've got '96+ offset bushings in mine.

[MR 325]

Yes, I have E30 M3 bushings.

On a customer car, I once used the OBD2 manifolds, to e36 downpipes with stock lolipops.
We had to cut the downpipes and reshape the pipe to clear the lolipop bracket.

I'd just recommend getting the THR eyeball arms.
