mobythevan Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I have been putting this off forever. Who likes to lay under the car and tack weld stuff together, maybe Jesse James but not me. Anyway, I made the downpipe out of 2.5 inch steel pipe as usual with a 3/8 mild steel flange that I ported to match the stock turbo. Right after the tranny cossmember the pipe couples to 3 inch and then through the dynomax bullet. Keeping the pipe at 2.5" until after the crossmember keeps it tucked up real nice into the tranny tunnel. When I upgrade to a big turbo down the road I can do a 3" downpipe to the coupler and not have to remake the back part of the system. You'll notice a few extra bends in their to keep the pipe tucked up as much as possible. I could have made it easier by using straight sections, but I thought it was worth the time to gain the extra clearance. Now that the exhaust and roll cage are finished, I think the hardest fabrication efforts are behind me with the turbo L6 car. Luckily you can't see any of my welding in the picture. That is just the old 240 exhaust in the picture, used it for a template on some things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Looks good! I'd say you will have one free flowing, highly audible exhaust system. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaZT Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Good job moby . That's exactly what I need for my car. Hopefully I can get one fabed up early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
