Default Some pics of the 3" downpipe.

Thanks to redline for hosting these for me.

This is the 2.5" flare into 3" to clear the AC.


The downpipe with flex.


Fuzzy close up.


A not so clear close up of the flare from the oppisite side.


MarkC's with closed loop.


This is what we have decided to keep the cost down. We will only make 3 options for those with Drag 3 and 2 options with those with rev-hard.

Drag 3 Options
1. Just DP with bung
2. DP with bung and flex.
3. The above options but closed loop.

Rev-Hard options
1. Just downpipe with one O2 bung
2. Downpipe with flex and bung.
Sorry no closed loop for rev-hard at this time.

Now these will not come with the flange towards the end of the flex pipe simply because there is over a million to one different exhuast combos and to make custom for everyone would cost a pretty penny. We wanted something we could make fast, which it hasnt been fast enough, and very costly to pass it down to you guys.
Now Ive been calling the fabrication shop for pricing. I had to call the employee at home to leave a message because I need the pricing. Thats all we are missing so we can ship these things out.

Email me if you still havent and want one.

Forgot to mention that those with the drag will be using the existing wastegate dump tube and you would need to clamp on a exhaust repair kit flexable hose to it.

it's a lot quieter at WOT!! LOL.... not much power loss since arturbo made the exit for the dump back far enough not to effect the exhaust heading for the turbo..

I do know that and Im trying my best to get these out. We have some for Rev-hard already waiting to be shipped. We also have the Jig for the Drag 3 so it wont take long to make those.

Yeah I made the same post on Club Si and it was deleted. Oh well.

As for the prelude we havent made one yet. If I could find one in the Austin/San Antonio area that would be willing to let us use their car for testing purposes I would be more than happy..

I will have pricing today in a few minutes.....

Im not sure about the cat since we didnt plan on using one. But I know people in Cali need them.

And yes it will fit the Tial wg. You will use the excisting dump tube that come with the drag kit. Just make sure you get an authentic one from Importparts.com.

Drag 3 Options
1. Just Downpipe $250
2. Downpipe with flexpipe $300
3. The above options but closed loop add $10 to the above pricing

Rev-Hard options
1. Just downpipe $250
2. Downpipe with flex $ 300
Sorry no closed loop for rev-hard at this time.

These prices do not include shipping. All donwpipes come with the Primary O2 bung.
Also, these do NOT have the flange at the end of the flex or downpipe. The reason for that is because of the different exhaust combos. So it will not bolt up to your exhaust.

muffler shop should have it, if not you can go to http://www.roadraceengineering.com you can get a 3 bolt or 2 bolt pattern flanges. They also have 3" silencer im gonna try those out.

EDIT: Here's the direct link to the flanges http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm
