Default turbo 5th gens - downpipe issue

i am peicing together a kit and have been wondering what to do about the dowpipe. should i have one made by a local shop or what? i really can;t find manufactured downpipes for sale that will fit 5th gen accords.

any help is appreciated as i am getting close to actually installing the kit. thanks

depressingly I don't think there's too many bolt on turbo kits for the accord probably your best bet is local shop

I"m not a huge turbo guy, just going off what i've read from others in this forum

we got some exhaust tube and welded it together to a flange on the turbo.... we welded a stock flange on the bottom so it fits right into the exhaust.

if you have a mass produced manifold (drag, f-max) you should be able to get the matching downpipe without much trouble. if you're using a custom mani you'll need to have a custom downpipe.
