Hey, I just got a max rev manifold downpipe and turbo combination for my B16 and when I went to put the downpipe on it angled to the ground and comes within 2 inches of scrpaing the ground.

Has anyone else had any problems with this combination before?

If their is an easy fix for this problem someone please let me know. thanks!

 

cut, reweld

 

Make sure you have all the manifold--->turbo---->dp all loose when fitting on the car. There should be good amounts of movement at the dp. This is what I had to do.

 

I had all bolts tight and loose....just couldn't seem to get the DP up any higher.

 

my downpipe angles towards the passenger side. it hits the flywheel cover bolts.

 

I have the same kit, and if it happened to you, it's probably goign to happen to me. I should have gone Greddy.

 

downpipes never fit right.

 

my dp is angled too, it hit's the flywheel cover a tad.

the muffler shop welded a new flange on the dp but not straight on .. more of like an angle so i could connect my cat without bending the dp or cat or exhaust. the aftermarket cat i got also has 2 flanges welded at an angle so it would connect to the exhaust straight. it's hard to explain but hey, it works.

 

You got that right.

Yep, even bolt-on turbos need alittle encouragment sometimes.
