downpipe pics???

[velella]

has anyone done the down pipe with a 6" or a 10" flex section to make it work? if so can someone post some pics and tell any specifications on it and any problems they had to slolve??

heres mine with a 10" flex , no problems at all,
set it up on your car and tack it when it in place

bowk1uk your stuff always looks good....

velella verociousmotorsports.com has the flex section.

ok. is there any way i can use the DP unmodified and use a flex section after the dp imbetween the DP and the exhaust?

[98mkiv]

yes, you can run it that way as well...... read the install guide. That is how it is done on the Black Supra in those pix.

mmmm flex pipes... makes install SOOO easy ... you can be off a couple inches and it jsut moves right on over...

The V-Band on the downpipe.. would I use a 3" V-Band or a 3.5" V-Band... Its on a 3" pipe but the diameter of the V-band flange is a little over 3.5".

kk.. im gonna be doing this install within the next 3 weeks i hope. so i got another question. if i do the 10" flex section after an unmodified DP is there any welding or anyhting needed. i just want to know what parts to buy to make it work and if there are any specifications i can get for this! thanks guys!

yes, you need to weld it in to whatever piping you do. I'd do a 3" x 6" not 10" if you're going into the DP. Check verociousmotorsports.com for the part.

verociousmotorsports.com is great for those custom fab jobs. I have a 3x6 flex welded into my DP.

I have some of it covered in my write up: (see post #93)

ok.. so if i take the stop DP and cut out 6" of the center and replace it with the 6" flex section than it will bolt right up to the stock exhaust right? im doin the whole install in 1 day with some help from todd (Rising_sun) and i just want to have every angle covered.. there isnt any kind of like extention or anything i need to add to the dp is there?

[TRD4Life05]

The DP fits perfectly from the turbo to the midpipe (cat) section. Good luck doin it in one day, be ready for small problems to pop up.

Todd's done it a few times, a day should be good for him. Velella, no extension is necessary. I'd put the flex in, weld the top part of it, float the bottom till you put the exhaust on so you can tuck the exahust neatly into the car.
