Default Flex pipe


I just got me drag 3 turbo kit installed on my gsr last week and noticed that the downpipe does not line up. Any of you guys had this problem?

My question is, should I get a flexpipe made at the local exhaust shop?

Thanks,
azntak

i had that problem 2 times in a row with both my downpipes. I put everything on, had it all ready to go, went to the muffler shop, they heated the pipe up and bent it downwards and welded the flange on. I had them cut the flange off the stock header and put it on the dp, and connect straight to the cat.

Did you try loosening the bolts from the turbo to the manifold? I had the same trouble and when I did that I was able to move/twist the turbo a little bit. After doing this the dp lined up better with the rest of the exhaust.

All Drag Kits I have seen come with a crooked DP. It seems to go the the left of the car all the time. Just get a flex....you will need it anyway.
