Salam Mubarak,
It seems to be you are from Kuwait. I'm from UAE and if you want to bring your car over here, i can do the piping for you at Extreme Performance UAE. Or if you are interesting to DIY you can open the below link and order the pipes. Don't forget to have a look at their clamps and silicone hoses!

with a G1 swaybar up front you are going to be squashing the heck out of your piping...

please don't tell me that I have to change my front swaybar too!! that would made me hating my Z06 for being ugly and I already paid over 100K on it to see it completely perfect and at the same time I have got a lot of disappointed things around it such as no one likes the idea of going LSX, F1x and nitrous ... etc

well am going more than the 1000 looking to hit the 1700-1800 I think the LG G1 swaybars was perfect with the old piping for my D1 and am going not that much a 3.5" pipes should be enough for F1X I think. and the 4.5" cooler is clearly needed those pipes.

The standard procharger 3" 90* hose is already squeezed pretty tight by the stock swaybar. If you're running that 3" hose now w/ the G1 swaybar on your D1 I'd imagine it's squeezed like a pancake.
There is absolutly 110% no way in hell a 3.5" pipe will fit between the swaybar and the subframe. It's hard enough to get the outlet of the F1x to fit reducing down to 3" (what I'm running on my car w/ stock sway bar)
I'm impressed Feldman still has a swaybar in the car w/ a 3.5" pipe

Granted a different head unit..
But when I hard piped my system I transitioned from the round blower outlet to oval tubing that carried the same volume to get past the sway bar and then back to round tubing immediately after. It worked pretty damn well, this is with pfadt sway bars in place as well. Use wiggins style clamps as well, V-Bands are crap in comparison.

i ditched my front one when we went to the bigger FMIC.. i held on to it as long as i could, but after seeing about 4-5 vettes running around with out a front bar i ditched mine.. really didnt make much of a difference as long as you arent auto crossing the car

I ditched mine too and didn't even notice a difference. Just get rid of it and run a big pipe if power is the goal. A 1500+rwhp vette isn't going to be turning hard enough to need a FSB anyways IMO.

I fought this for a very very long time.. I HATED the idea of pulling the front bar..Several local c6s did it. and when i finally did.. i was MAD that i didnt do it earlier.. IMO being on a 15 will impact the nimbleness of the car more than the front sway bar.
