The only exhaust manifold AND Downpipe that clear the A/C are the ones from DDP and AAI. Main problem with using 2nd gen turbo manifold are because they are deisgned like a 7G manifold for the turbo to face the passenger side of the car not the driver side, we cant do it that way due to the A/C being right there. Evo manifolds dont work either due to starter clearance. I have heard some of the 2g manifold will work but only with smaller turbos like T25's and Mitsu 14b's. As soon as you step into the realm of T3/4 you need either an AAI or DDP manifold. I have the AAI stainless tubular manifold, its holding up good, it comes Jet coated so it retains heat very well and it leaves clearance for the starter and A/C. I removed my A/C by choice, but your best bet is to get the Manifold and Downpipe from them to ensure the best fitment.
