Prefabricated turbo downpipe?
I didnt know if there was a good shop online that sells quality downpipes already made with turbo flanges ready to bolt onto your car.
I know the following link is to a junk downpipe but this is sorta what im looking for:
or would it be better to get one fabed up at a shop custom for my car?

Re: Prefabricated turbo downpipe?
you wont find many places that sell prefabbed downpipes because there is no standard fitment on a honda, there are hundreds of different manifolds, even ramhorns are different from fabricator to fabricator. most get a manifold and downpipe from the same fabricator, or get a downpipe fabbed locally, even that one link would need to get modified locally, why not just have them make the whole thing locally then.

Best bet is to buy a downpipe or get one with your turbo kit and have someone fit it to your specific setup.
I got a downpipe when I bought my manifold. When mocking everything up I cut the downpipe to mock it up from the turbo to under the oil pan and taped it together and had a friend weld it up for me.

Buy a decent MIG for 500 bucks and do it yourself. By the second downpipe you make you'll probably have made your money back

Re: Prefabricated turbo downpipe?
Hmmm I guess you guys are right. Didnt notice it was that far from the oil pan. Shouldnt matter to much with my slicks and stance. Thanks for pointing it out. Its still at Go-Autoworks waiting to be shipped. Should I say something about it?

Greg just got back to me and confirmed its only how it looks in the Picture. Its actually hugging the pan tight. I trust his work, its not his first dance.
