Tacked and ready to be tigged:

Compared with a section of 2.5" piping:




Turbo mounted on the jig for the manifold we're making:



I'm excited to get this thing rolling... BTW this downpipe will be used with a 3" Thermal cat-back and a removable test-pipe.

looks good..

 

what kind of car are you customizing the setup in ?

 

Read his sig, it an 89 CRX Si w/ the stock engine....

It looks good though mang, try that with a b-seriees next I want 3" DP, but I doubt that i'll be able to fit it

 

looking good Seth...ask seth if he can tig my flange on for me

 

Looking good, Seth.

dude, did you make that out of one 3inch u-bend? looks great

 

WOW.........that looks really good. wanna make mine? j/k

 

Looks good. I made mine the same way pretty much.

 

yeah, I knew that, but I also know that you're closer to him than I am.

 

Yeah I will ask him for you! I just wanted to let you know he was on H-T.

Thanks again guys!

 

Pretty much!

 

Are you sure you don't want a flexpipe in there somewhere?

that's alot of vibration stress on the turbo manifold.

Yeah I agree Flex pipes are very very key in a good downpipe. But other wise that downpipe is as good as any I have ever seen.

 

Man, that thing looks huge in your engine bay! Nice.

 

No doubt a flex section would always be added insurance, but like all things, it is not in the spirit of affordable hard core high performance parts. The stock D series front exhaust does not have a flex section either, but like all things, if people want to pay to the extra money for flex sections they can always be added. I designed this downpipe with the hardcore motor enthusiast in mind who wants maximum performance at an affordable price without all the unnecessary bells and whistles that line their(the sellers) pockets. Durablility will not be a problem with this 3" downpipe nor will the Aircraft quality 321 stainless steel manifold. Wait till you see the 321 turbo manifold...she will be a beauty!

My stock 96 DX did not have a flex...which is probably why the manifold had a massive crack down the middle. Of course, I have a flex on my downpipe and my Revhard has a hairline crack in it, but at least it doesn't leak! Gotta spend that $50 extra on the flex if you don't want to spend another few hundred hardcore dollars if you split your turbo mani wide open.

 

Revhard kits are not 321 aircraft quality stainless to my knowledge either.

 

Where did you get your bends from off of the turbo down?

 

Oh sorry I didn't see a stainless turbo manifold there....whoops, there isn't one at at so WTF are you talking about?

 

We're still making the manifold...the turbo is just mounted up to the jig so we could make the downpipe.
