Hood stack on 3rd Gen with a/c help
I purchased an old school fab hood stack for my third gen with a second gen manifold. Is it possible to mount the stack with keeping the a/c. My friend can bend new lines but wondering if anyone has had it done before. I live in Arizona and summers get crazy hot. Any help will be appreciated

Why do you need a hood stack?

Don't need one. Just like the way they look. Hardly drive the truck but take it to the sand drags and other little events here and there. I plan on purchasing a srt hood and keeping the factory exhaust when the stack gets annoying.

I built one a few years ago and kept my AC. I used a 2nd gen manifold and relocated my battery.
IF you were to mount your battery sideways first on the passenger side, you could keep it there. but by the time i got to thinking of moving battery sideways, it was already too late.
PM me if you have any questions. And yes, that is a muffler, and yes, it does make a HUGE difference.

What i didn't post in there and did later on was make a spring waste gate. When i clocked the outlet housing upwards to make room i tacked my gate closed. When i upgraded turbo's i ended up making a little bracket that bolted onto the turbo flange and the wastegate rod went through it. then it was a spring and double nut, or secure nut. adjusting was easy after that.

Other things i did in the end was move my grid heater relays over to the other side of the engine bay and tap into the wires that are by the hood hinge.

I did it. It's a little tight but it worked. If you have a straight v band outlet on your turbo it would be easier to just turn the turbo around backwards then all you need is a flange and a 90.

I got rid of the battery. On a side note I love the idea of a hood stack and they look great but driving with one gets old quick. It makes a huge mess, it's loud, and the sound sucks compared to any normal exhaust.
