Guest wolfztech04 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hello yall, I've got a quick question for yall. I'm looking at replacing the stock downpipe with a custom job. Has anyone done this? and, Does anyone have pics of some (dimentions included)? That would be cool. Thanks. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Lots of people do this. ScottieGNZ made some nice stainless units a few years back. I am one of the fortunate ones who bought one. Most folks just fabricate them from mild steel and coat them - chances are it will last long enough to upgrade your turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wolfztech04 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 SleeperZ. Hey are there some still availiable for purchase or no? I could have a welder fab one for me if I had a good idea on the dimentions and templates needed to make the parts. Personally I would rather buy one and not have to go through the fabrication headaches, but does anyone currently make them for sale? If so I want one. Thanks.

SleeperZ Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 It depends on your car and transmission what will work for you. ScottieGNZ made his to work on an S30 with a Nissan transmission. I had to make some modifications to use it with my BW T5. JeffP made a downpipe for the S130s, and he may still be selling them. Jersey was talking about making downpipes for a bit, and this would work on any S30 I believe, as he made it to fit around a T5. If you can't find one, and they are hard to find, I suggest finding a good welder or shop to make one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
