So I drive my truck daily and being on a budget I bought the necessary piping to build a twin piping setup. I based what I needed from the sizes of the parts and pictures of other twin kits. My problem is, I'd like to mock the setup outside of the truck and ready the piping (welding etc) before I yank the existing setup out since that will render the truck down and out until it's finished. And since I'm still not 100% sure if I'm going to run into a snag I don't want to "yank" without being ready. So for those of you that have had similar situations, how did you go about mocking the setup up? My real concern is the exhaust and it's placement on the new charger, there's not a lot of wiggle room down here and I don't want to suddenly be like "crap how am I going to make that work?"
Any thoughts would be appreciated, I've thought about trying to make a cardboard replica of the engine bay and then measure everything out but I wanted to ask what others have done.
Thanks for any help!!
