Anyone install a F1X?

Anyone installed one and used the 3in piping? Procharger set me a straight reducer but there is no way it will work. Was wondering how others may have done it.

Here's from the bookx. This is how it should look. My problem is the 90 they sent is 3in. I need 3 1/2 to 3in. They sent me a straight reducer. there is no way it will work. There is not much room at all.

I did he didn't really have any ideas. Only 3 1/2 to 3on he had was a 45 degree. It would need to be a 90.

Really need someone to step in that has installed the X on a 5th gen. Also have a problem with the blower hitting the Power steering pump.

i have installed two. you need to go on Froozenboost.com and order a 3.5" to 3" if you are going to use the procharger supplied stuff. I HIGHLY recommend getting some piping made though as the PC stuff wont hold under serious boost with shooty screw clamps etc.
Check your air filter too to make sure ID fits the F1X.
And watch the coolant hoses and clamps. you are better off modifying your stock ones to fit.
let me know if need any other questions answered

And as far as the PS pump grind the rib flush carefully then put a thin light coat of jb weld on seam and clock head unit slightly resting it tight up against the pump
