Default Downpipe questions..

I'm currently running a DRAG3 turbo kit on my b20b in my integra.. I ran into an issue where my downpipe has rubbed a hole in my oil return fitting.. due to the placement of the bung that's welded onto the oil pan.. and I'm now having clearance issues.. The downpipe will not fit because my fitting for the oil return line is in the way..

Instead of me going to the muffler shop and them hacking my downpipe up.. I was thinking about just maybe going with a different downpipe and hoping it works.. I need something that comes off atleast an inch off the 5bolt flange.. instead of automatically curving down.

Are any of you guys runnning a 3 inch downpipe with a full length radiator and power steering?

Anyone have pic's so i could get an idea of clearance? Best place to get a downpipe?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Yes i have a log manifold which i believe is included in all old drag turbo kit's.

I don't have a welder, welding helmet, or a cutoff wheel.

you could make it work but you would need to cut, reposition and weld. maybe even welding up the bung thats in the way and weld in a new one.

Yeah.. I considered that, but if I knew a 3 inch downpipe would fit with a full length radiator and power steering.. I'm willing to try that as well.. I just haft to find a place to buy one..

Thanks for your help.
