A difficult question...

[Evan.]

Well I know this is a going to be a difficult question cause theres not too many boosted d-series on an EK chassis, but..im lookin to fab a downpipe myself and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this? Ive looked up stainless steel bends and for 2.5" theyre like 40 bucks a piece, so im thinkin itd be cheaper to just take it to a shop..but lemme hear your opinions, or if anyone knows of a good place to get stainless steel bends? Finally, maybe there is a cheaper material to make a dp out of? Lemme hear your thoughts..

Summit Racing has good mandrel bends for exhaust parts.

im sure theres plenty of other fab companies who either offer a DP, or parts and flanges to DIY. good luck!

okay I think ive found places to buy it..but recommendations on the bends I should buy & what type of piping? im looking for the same bend scheme as the old downpipe, im just basically re-doing it..

jegs.com has super cheap piping, and free shipping. or autozone can order mandrel bent piping.

nice job welding cast iron to steel.. thats going to crack right off.

hence "old downpipe"..

How long did that down pipe setup last? I'm considering doing the same, but just want to do it for a few months.

Youll be just fine for the couple months..it wont "crack right off" the only reason I used that one was to get up and boosting, but now im going for a complete, clean setup.

Thanks, i'm sort of in a hurry now to boost, more than likely by the end of spring i'll build a better setup.
