jeffer949 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well i bit the bullent and made a 4 inch down pipe instead of trying to mess with making a 4 inch pipe go into a 3 inch dp in a matter of inches. Ill reduce it after the dp to connect to my exhaust. Its not the prettiest thing but i think it should work. i still need to weld on my o2 bung tomorrow but that will take 5 min. well what do you think?

Guest 280ZForce Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i swear everyone jumps the 4" downpipe bandwagon after I do it lol... looks good though. The middle bend isn't pretty but it'll work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Honestly its not easy to get that 4 inch dp in there with the stock manifold. Your manifold sits the turbo closer to the fender to where you can have a straight shot at it. with mine you have to position the first 45deg bend towards the fender and then come back 15 degrees or so and then try and get your next 45 bend on it. i had to cut and reweld the last bend like 5 times to get it to clear nicely and be pointed in a respectable direction. And i didnt do it because you did i just did it because i didnt have the cast elbow that comes with it. But then again i did look at your pictures before i made mine lol. I just wish i had a tig so i could buy stainless and weld that nice and pretty!!! I hate my 150buck flux core welder!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 my manifold doesn't really make it easier... my downpipe has really really tight tolerances. Like less than 1/8" from both steering shaft and from the block/transmission adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garvice Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I don't know how you get the to clear everything, but that setup looks awsome! Why do you think it is still on the engine hoist and not in the car? LOL. Just Kidding J. Soileau, look very nice and I'm sure you'll get it too fit, if you haven't already. Jeffer949, dump pipe looks good, I don't think it will ever be your restriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
