"3" DOWN PIPE FOR GREDDY TURBO KIT ALL ALUMINIZED FOR 92 - 95 CIVIC,COMES WITH BIG 2.50" GASKET TO HOOK UP TO THE EXHAUST O2 BUNG AND NUT WELDED FOR THE HEAT PROBE."

does that sound like you have to re-locate the o2 sensor? i cant tell if that is crush bent or mandrel bend... and the end piece comes out to 2.5"

opinions? thoughts?

PWRVTEC

The reason being what is the use of a 3" downpipe that goes to 2.5" outlet. Plus that thing looks crush bent to me....

BoostinSOHC

waste of money. and its crush bent

Honda Hick

Screw that, both pics are of different dp's. The bottom one doesn't go to 2.5" at the end. Thats definately crush bent too.

tonydatyga

hahaha, they are different

sushibug

whoops i didnt notice that! what would i do without honda-tech... i'd be just another ricer.

Hammett

whats the size of greddy downpipe that comes with the kit?

turbocoupe

Even the welds look like ****. . .yea definetley crush

HybridHatchC1

man nothing wrong with crush bent especially at a diamiter of 3", i was talking with this custom pipe bender and he has he could bend me a mandrel 3" catback but hes like listin mandrel doesn't flow a crap load more then crush, hes like save your money and i will bend you a crush pipe cause mandrel is definitly not worth it.

Sounds like someone who's too lazy to get the job done right. Seriously.

Plus, that 1st crush bent DP up there looks like it's reduced to 2.25" at the apex of the inner curve. Someone should dyno a true 3" DP and that one up there.

TurboSohc

yeah you should get a 3" DP but not the one you posted. Just get one custom made.

Call me crazy, but I don't see the wrinlkes in it indicating it's crush bent..

Liltrix

Its Crush bent, that is definately not mandrel bent.

Ri5e

that's definetly crap bent, i mean, crush bent.

CovertFI

in the first pipe on the first bend you can see how it bends down and come up. from the crushing tool.

That thing looks g3hY. Just get one custom made bro.

Not to mention the kind of horrific spiking your gonna have with a 3" DP and GReddy's internal wastegate! As it is I have bad enough spiking with a 2.5" DP, I'd be a little leary of going 3" with a flapper door.

Finest

Okay CRAZY...

There are two types of crush bends. The first is the one that creates the wrinkles, like the ones you see at PepBoys or something. The second is a smoother bend, BUT it still pinches the angle so you lose some flow. So a 3" pipe will pinch down to 2.5" or less around the bend. A TRUE mandrel bend will flow 3" throughout, especially around the bends.

Depending on your output goals, that 1st 3" DP will help prevent boost creep since it's sorta pinched to about 2.25-2.5". But for ballz out performance, 3" mandrel bend will be required.

PrecisionH23a

let me guess.... you found that on ebay?

sushibug

yuppers!

hey vtc... you should of told me sooner that you have boost spike problems. i was so set on getting my dp customized. to me, it seems kind of stupid to go from a 2.25 (is that the greddy dp diameter?) to a 3" cat and all the way back. instead i think i will get a 2.5" cat, 2.5" piping, and a 3" straight thru muffler. also stick a resonator in there somewhere.

tonydatyga

hahaha, ebay... definetely go w/ a resonator somewhere, that is if you don't want attention.

Xerxes

I don't have spiking problems with my semi-3" (half of it is 3", half is 2.5") downpipe and 3" cat and 3" exhaust....


Just go custom!
