down pipe question

[89coupe89]

ok here is the deal i bought a s13 coupe with a ca18det. Iam trying to button up some loose ends from previous owner.heres the problem i bout an HKS cat-back exhaust 3" and it will not bolt up correctly its rubbing the driveshaft and the fitment is all fu*ked.I think the down pipe is from a sr20 here is a pic of a ca18det down pipe next to the one the on the vehicle.Iam looking for a down pipe that would work correcly and maybe find one that has a cat delete. in the pics you can see the bends are going in different directions

The CA18 turbo extention and down pipe flanges are angled (turned) differnt, so if your running the CA turbo you need the CA down pipe.

not sure if the SR turbo extension bolts on to the CA turbo, if so then you can bolt up an SR turbo extension and down pipe

the top down pipe in the pic was the one on the car and i was trying to bolt on the hks exhaust and no luck.do you know any good web sites for a ca down 3" down pipe. i have also heard of people using sr o2 pipe and a sr down pipe but i dont know if it would have the same out come

Thats what i was trying to say. I dont know if it bolts up to the turbo, if it does then it should work

You've already been told, you have to use the CA elbow and downpipe. Buy them. Install them. Plenty of places sell CA parts, hell even Ebay has CA downpipes.
