Default DP recommendation for 6258?

Hello friends -- I'm looking to pick up a 6258 in the next few weeks, but I'm coming to the sad realization that my poor FM manifold and DP are not going to work. I am a firm believer in log manifolds and their strength, so I would love to keep my FM manifold. However, from looking at photos, it looks as if the turbo will end up sitting to far aft? On top of that, I don't see how I would fit a large DP in there as well.

Any recommendations on downpipes that will work in this application?? or should I start looking at new manifolds?

I see the track speed option -- not looking for the entire kit, so this might not be a viable option.

My manifold and DP are available as separate pieces. Your EFR won't fit on the FM manifold in your engine bay without substantal tub modifications, and there's no off-the-shelf downpipe option.

Yep you will need to cut the rear shelf significantly to fit a custom EFR down pipe with a FM/Begi log manifold.

i can confirm this as well. I just fit an EFR on a center mounted log type (ArTech) and i had to remove a LOT of the shelf. like 1" for a 12" long path around the shelf. the result was absolute minimum clearance.

Pretty much. It's not worth the hassle to try to make FM's water lines work, and ours are nicer anyway. Sell your FM mani/turbo/DP/water lines as a package, buy TSE mani/DP/water lines, reuse your current IC pipes and IC setup.
