It looks like a tight fit from this angle for any dp much less a 5" one....I have a 5" one and it took a magician to fit it, and I dont have AC parts in my way, so I hope you have some skills!
The Vbands my welder used are from here Vibrant Performance ::. they have a little flange area on them so they fit inside one another and not leak. Without that, I bet you will have leak issues, especially holding all that weight.

i like those v-bands you got , wish i would of saw those b4 i got all of this welded . how will those o rings take the heat thou ? if all else fails i can make so gasket for them i guess, but i think the brace should take allot of the weight off the pipes . do you have one of those huge intake elbows ? if so could you measure how much distance it takes before it goes full 90 degrees, i need to know if i can fit it within a 8" space.

Good luck with the build man. Looks good so far. I was planning on doing a flipped manifold build similar to yours, but I switched to a kb log. Mocked it up and everything, but didnt like how it fit. Also, I dont think im half the fabricator I need to be to pull that off. Keep us updated. I want to see some

yeah its going to be tight for sure. i got almost 12"s from the back of my turbo to the ac drier and got exactly 5" from manifold to fender inner liner . so the inner liner is going to probably get shaved a lil bit and the ear on the manifold is going to get grinded off also.

Yea I have a big elbow, and had to cut the **** out of my fan shroud and the elbow to get it to fit. Kind of hard to see in this pic but...

looks like im in for another tight fit ... lol . my turbo sits more to the left then yours and it kinda points toward the corner so if i were to put that elbow on it, it would go straight into that hole that your second one goes into .i might need to heat it up and ovalize it a lil bit cause i think all i got to the rad. support is about 8".
