Garagistic mounts and ireland engineering m30 headers

[Mr. Burns]

Thx glnr13, I remember exchanging pm's with you on regards on fitment prior to purchase.

Was your fitment re: tranny tunnel alignment the same? If so how did you resolve?

I'm wondering if the cabrio vs sedan/coupe has a different more/less beefed up floor, which may lead to awkward fitment?

I've got a set of M30 manifolds for you, your choice of flange styles

[Mr. Burns]

Little update.
Had to cut some pipe off the IE headers.
Mig welded section angled to clear body.
Solution is to now run a flex pipe after an H section is fab'd to connect to rest of exhaust.

So all in all, yet it will work. But not without some creative handy work

Clearance at Mount arm

Ya.....that's literally just millimeters of clearance

New section where flex will go

First attempt I left it up to the muffler guy and he put a flange about where the exhaust pipes start in your photo. That leads to mega scraping over speed bumps.

I'm going to try and stagger a pair of vband flanges in the trans tunnel but i haven't mocked it up yet. I'm very interested in your flex pipe idea though.

[Mr. Burns]

More updates. Almost done

2.5" piping replaced.
Going to use twin flex's for ease of installation instalation and better flow

What is that food in the background! Ugh.... So gross lol.

Oh and nice exhaust setup, I used stock manifolds on my m30 swap.

[Mr. Burns]

It was lunch a long time ago lol

I had to do a lot of hammering to fit IE headers when I first swapped an m30. I made my own mounts, so no issues there but had to hammer about an inch into the firewall to clear enough for a slip clamp.
