I got my turbosetup all together except for the stupid downpipe I have kinda been putting it off considering it isa big problem with the front crossmember in the way but If any one can help me or has done it give me some insight... I am runing the hot side facing the passenger side( seems like there is the most room on that side) Ill hopefully have pics up soon to help u guys see my prob... please post if u know anyone whos done it or have urself

 

usually you can fit a 2.5" pretyt easily witht he right angles. Otherwise jsut notch the X-member a bit and rebrace after the notching, or get aftermarket member. I run Full-Race

 

i hear a lot of people use traction bars in stead but i dont have too much money, and Id like to be able to just "notch" or have a custom down pipe built..... and what type of set up are u running/ is ur hot side facing the passesnger side of the motor (tranny side)? I got a t3/t4 and Its real heavy soo im gunna brace it to the tranny/block and haved the downpipe run off the passenger side. thanks for all the help if u got pics please post em

 

i recently installed a rev hard kit on a DA, i used the rev hard 2.5inch downpipe. with no problems.

which manifold are you using on your car? maybe spoolin performance Phil can help you out with a downpipe??

 

well I got a sparks style manifold, Its not that I have a problem mounting it its the fact that If i mount it incorretly the DP will be near immpossible to mount and run.... I have searched and found a nice post of some dude who was able to run a 3 inch DP but he looks like he can weld I dont have any skills but I will prolly end up running a 2.5 garbage pipe for now untill it cracks and I have no choice but to upgrade...a

 

I cut it out as big as needed and then box it back in with 1/8" mild steel plate. Works really well if you don't have the cash for a traction bar setup.

 

I got 1 U bend 3" and made by whole dp fron that. It worked great, I had to cut just a small bit of the pinch weld off, but dont cut to much! PM me for some pics.

 

O **** things have goten worse The downpipe will half to bust a 90º in about 2 inches because MY delsol Half rad is sooo close the the turboine side of my turbo.... I think If i was to relocate my bat I might be able to move rad ofver only about another inch but I dont think thats ebnough clearence??
