You can just buy the 4 bolt, 5 bolt, or v-band flange and make your own. Or you can buy this one ----> http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=1069 <---- and lengthen it and make it work with your flange that you buy..

Made my own with the spa. Most people run different exhaust setups/turbos so you most likely won't find anyone that makes a bolt on down pipe for your setup. Most people that get a downpipe that fits their needs usually buys a manifold+turbo+downpipe+dumptube as a package deal. The link above looks just like an ebay downpipe to me.

It's to the OBX down pipe because the OP said it was an OBX topmount manifold. So, basically it is an ebay downpipe.. LOL OBX=ebay.. Both are junk.

Ahh. I skipped right over obx in the op. I wonder if a obx downpipe would bolt up if you had an obx manifold?

I dont think many welders or fab shops are going to carry a downpipe specifically for the OBX manifold. There isn't much of a market in making pieces for eBay setups. You'll either have to find the matching OBX downpipe or make one from scratch. I'd go with option 2
