The MAX Flex Cobra exhaust system combines a turbo dump elbow, downpipe, and flex section into one easy to install system that produces benefits greater than the sum of its parts.

Innovative Features:

>Half inch thick inlet flange that is straight cut between bolt holes. This is 3x as much steel as other flanges which prevents any warping from welding or heat cycling of the turbo.

>Half inch thick asymetric outlet flange eliminates leaks and failed gaskets under the car. More material on the top for strength, less on the bottom so you dont scrape it.

>Superior ground clearance without having to hammer factory metal (with manifolds that maintain OEM position). OEM heat shield must be removed. Down pipe runs paralell to the frame rail.

>Tripod tranny mount features slotted holes. Its so strong and has so much adjustability that if you mount it in its highest position it will raise the entire exhaust system so much that the cat back pipe will hit the subframe and diff.

>Dual 2 inch mandrel bent tubes used in the elbow, 3" flex section. 3" downpipe with only 1 smooth segmented bend for maxumim flow.

>Independant merged tubes in dump elbow keep turbine flow seperated from the waste gate all the way down to the flex section. Our competitors have one big collector or if they do seperate its piped back into the elbow at a not so smooth angle.

>Turbune tube extends past the flange into the turbo completely seperating both sides of the turbo to prevent turbulence and maximixe hoesepower and torque. Other companies have either a bolt on extension that does not seal properly or a flap that does not seperate flow more for more than an inch.

>Vertically oriented flex section eliminates the usual flange and gasket who's bolts are difficult to get to. It also reduces the amount of unflexable weight that hangs on the exhaust manifold. Vertical flex isolates any ground contact in the exhaust system from the turbo and manifold eliminating loose bolts, failed gaskets, and cracked manifolds. Other flex down pipes have the flex section on the bottom of the car towards the cat causing any contact with speed bumps to be transmitted directly to the turbo and manifold. Those horizontal flex section's drag on the ground because the flex is a larger diameter than the pipe which completely misses the whole point of having a flex section in the first place.

>Compatible with all bottom mounted turbos such as T25, T28, S15 turbo, GT2871R, GT25R etc. with 5 bolt outlet. Inlet flange has one slotted hole to accomodate the different 5 bolt patterns and OEM gaskets in T25 & T28 OEM turbos. For turbos with a built in divider plate it is necessary to grind off the turbine tube extension.

>Compatible with Right and left hand drive S13,14, & 15 chassis. Plenty of clearance for the steering shaft firewall and tranny.

>Compatible with above turbos and chassis equipped with SR20 or KA24 Turbo Conversion motors.

>100% 304 stainless steel ~ hand built ~ TIG Welded ~ 11 pounds


.5" thick flanges with extra material around the perimeter stay flat preventing exhaust leaks

[burnsauto]

could you guys put a flange on the top of that flex section? I already have a nice turbo elbow I don't want to ditch and I'd love to replace my shitbox greddy one. Or possibly, move the flex section after the bend, and just have a 3 bolt flange for a normal t25/t28 outlet?

BTW: LOVE the new setup for the buys, keeps the PMing down a lot.

[gijoe69]

will it work with a RB25DET Stock Turbo?

no, we cant. moving the flex after the bend defeats the whole purpose of the flex if you hit the bend on something or the flex section itself scrapes the ground
will it work with a RB25DET Stock Turbo?
no, I think that turbo has six holes

[pete240]

Do you have any downpipes in stock? I blew mine up this weekend and I need something nice asap

[DC Dan MAX USA]

yes in stock now

[om3ga]

I may come down there to see what they look like in person, I was curious if the welds on the inside are smooth. I am insane and the only thing keeping me from buying this right now is the fact that it does not look like this on the inside.
http://i2.frsimg.com/images/detailed_images/Tomei_193060_5.jpg Im insane about what i buy haha.

[azndoc]

This looks awesome.

Great work Dan and Martin.

[AE_Racer]

would it be possible to have you guys change the flange out for an rb25 stock turbo flange? just curious cause im running an rb25 turbo on my sr20...

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Im insane about what i buy haha.
as far as your turbo is concerned it will be way smoother flowing than the design in pic you posted because the wastegate turbulence is not allowed to re-enter the exhaust flow until it gets to the flex section.
This looks awesome.

Great work Dan and Martin.
thanks Jack!
would it be possible to have you guys change the flange out for an rb25 stock turbo flange? just curious cause im running an rb25 turbo on my sr20...we cant do that at this time

[om3ga]

Sounds good, Im running a stock t-25 at this time on the SR. I'm trying to figure out which of the two pipes to go with since i may upgrade the turbo later. One thing i was concerned about is how the two pipes are placed together, I was just thinking about if exhaust gas was able to get in between the two pipes or how exactly that was designed.

How much of a difference is it if i get the one without the divider and run it on a turbo that does not have a stock divider like a t-25 or s14 t-28?

Ill be definitely picking one of these up, for now its all about deciding on which to get haha. Do you have any closer pictures of the insides of both turbo elbow sections? Or if you could get a straight photo at each one that would be great!

Thanks alot Dan

[DC Dan MAX USA]

The exhaust gas can not get inbetween the two tubes until they dump out into the flex section. The turbine side is a uninterupted mandrel bent 2" pipe and the wastegate is a semicircular tube welded onto the turbine tube. We do not back purge to control costs so you can see some oxidation inside the turbine tube. If you are anal about how smooth the inside of the pipe is you can run a flexible ball hone through it.

http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/e107_files/public/1262204772_2_FT2130_p1050920.jpg

what you need to do is get the cobra with the divider because you have t25 and when you get the t28, you simply cut the divider.

[om3ga]

That pic is exactly what i was looking for thanks, does the S14 T-28 have a divider? Also how bad would it be to use the non divided one the T-25

I appreciate the pics and input.

[hailandkill]

looks awesome, any pics of the ground clearance on it? it's time to get rid of my poo downpipe that hits everything possible

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I know the S15 does, dont know about S14. I dont know how bad it will be, I never tried it ~ But you seem like a perfectionist so follow my advice.

I hear you haha, is there any way you can get me a slough of pictures similar to the one i had you post of the elbow? Im trying to see how far the welds go and everything. So some high res pics would be good. I am a perfectionist, it hurts. I assume you are the same way? I really want to buy this but i like to thoroughly inspect things before i buy them. Call me insane haha.

I really appreciate the help with all this

[mteehee]

http://namceface.com/pictures/Calm_down_bro-DWrvfmLVFfKK0S1yir7V.jpg

I plan on buying one of these very soon.

[om3ga]

^haha im calm.

[om3ga]

Also how much room is between the divider plate and the inside of the turbo before it hits the back of the turbo?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

oh fuck I lol'd what the hell is that a leemur?

we do have a proper website with our own products forum where you can see an infinity of pictures and discussion before you buy. ::Powered by MAX:: (http://www.poweredbymax.net)

and of course visiting our shop would be better than any high rez photo.

I only have one left in stock at this time.

I dont know how much room since you cant see it after the turbo is bolted on.

[2wo4orty]

can you also post a pic of where it mounts onto tripod mounts onto the tranny
I can't seem to find any pics on the net
and as of right now my dp is not bolted to the tranny so i think i might be missing a bracket or something.

Plan on getting this in the new year can't wait

LOL Leemurs are awesome.

I see ill check the forum as well.

Does the fabricator know how much room there is? I mean he had to of measured the distance to the inside of the turbo otherwise there could have been clearance issues.

Basically i just want to compare how much the divider sticks out, to the distance from the inner wall of the turbo out to where the flange meets.

THANKS!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I dont have a pic handy - Its just the OEM exhaust mount, one side bolts to the tranny mount, other side bolts to the exhaust.

fabricator does not know how much room there is because the process was to grind and shape the tab little by little till the flange could bolt on flush with the turbo, then we made a template and then production pieces.

[om3ga]

Sounds good! Id like to have one made without the bracket if possible. I pm'd you also!

Thanks!

[xpinoyxmk]

Damn this is a nice product but i dont feel like spending 400 on it.

[rb26man]

looks super clean

[om3ga]

Damn this is a nice product but i dont feel like spending 400 on it.

$400 isnt really all that much, the moonface downpipe is a lot more than this one and does not have the flex section. They put a lot of testing into the production of this dp so IMO its definitely worth it. Especially for low cars or anyone that cares about clearance.:keke:

[DC Dan MAX USA]

sold out of the premade cobras, I have more raw materials but there will be a slight delay for production if you order right now

[drb930]

Does this DownPipe still allow for a Cat in the regular place?

Thanks,
Dave

[om3ga]

Does this DownPipe still allow for a Cat in the regular place?

Thanks,
Dave


Yes it does, you are able to run a cat/ test pipe just like you would normally, im sure they could fabricate you a downpipe with an extended bottom tube so you would not have to run a test pipe or cat if thats what you wanted to do.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

our current jig does not allow for a cat delete extension

[om3ga]

Oh ok, i think the regular design is a better idea anyways.

[nieko]

When will the next batch be ready? i will be ordering one in a few weeks for sure.

[Wave_s13]

can you also post a pic of where it mounts onto tripod mounts onto the tranny
I can't seem to find any pics on the net
and as of right now my dp is not bolted to the tranny so i think i might be missing a bracket or something.

Plan on getting this in the new year can't wait


^ Any pictures of the dp mounted with tranny tripod mounts?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

nothing is moving in the next few days because my technitian is in Panama for the formula D exhibition

no pix of that

[dongoesby]

how long is the delay of production if i order now? could it be anytime before feb or early feb?

and is it possible for you guys to extend the pipe at the end, so it would be the length of a test pipe that connects to any cat-back exhaust?

[om3ga]

They should be ready in a couple weeks most likely.

Their Current jig does not allow for a longer bottom pipe. Just get a test pipe and please remember to read the thread thoroughly before you post:wavey: it has been asked already :wackit:

[om3ga]

Any updates? I need to order one of these bad boys.

[twinspool]

I just ordered one of these for my car last last week, should be coming in next week I hope! I ordered when technician was in panama =/ I already grinded the divider off of my t28 so it will be complete separation instead of partial. Cant wait to get this on my car!
Thanks again PBM

please let us know on the updates.

i need to order one soon before the track season begins.

[2wo4orty]

I ordered one on the 18th or so I hope it gets here soon can't wait

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Ivan yours shipped yesterday, and Marc yours ships today. Tracking emailed.

[2wo4orty]

thanks Dan checked the trackingnumber
and the shits arriving on my bday WOooooooooooooh

[twinspool]

most excellent Dan, looks like it is going to arrive on my days off so I can put my car back together

[twinspool]

I just installed the PBM cobra pipe and its awesome! I had to trim a little off the divider plate and expand two of the bolt holes on the flange but its alright, not everything can be perfect fit so you have to make it fit. I wish I had transmission exhaust hanger bracket though.. All in all the piece is great!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

you need the OEM exhaust bracket and maybe a nismo tranny mount while you are down there.

[twinspool]

yea I have the nismo mounts but I think my brother took that oem exhaust bracket off and threw it away or the guy we bought it from took it off and forgot to put it back on.
thanks again for the awesome pipe! This was the type of downpipe I have always wanted since my friend with a mk3 supra showed me his divorced downpipe on his. I was almost about to buy the greddy elbow before I saw a post with your cobra down pipe in it.

[drb930]

Do you offer a "Bung" for the EGR Pipe to hook-up to?

Thanks,
Dave

no one has ever asked me to do that, I'd probably need the car to sort it out


I have enough materials to do 10 Cobras now = )

[CamryOnBronze]

Planning to finally order mine tonight or tomorrow! Hooray for bonuses!

[SilviaSativa]

Any possibility of getting one of these for a T3 top mount?

[twinspool]

Any possibility of getting one of these for a T3 top mount?

you can order from the flex section back, cause most likely they'll have to get a car in to test fit and see what all to do before they make new models.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

thats correct

we just got enough parts in to do 10 more pipes, now if I could only find the time, I'll have some in stock this time = )

[driftpolice]

ill be ordering mine this week.

[SilviaSativa]

I'll be placing my order without the dump elbow early next week.

[D.Adams]

I will be picking one up next pay day for my sr. PSM is the shit and its about time you came out with this. i have been jonesing for something this nice for a while. got to get rid of the megan crap my car came with.

Dan can you fab up a test pipe for this. i can mail you the one i have now if you need it. its a cheapo egay one the last owner put on my car.

I could, but right now we are thinking about a full straight pipe exhaust development. Not sure if we should do a test pipe or integrate into the rest of the system.

[D.Adams]

i would love a full system. but i got to have the option to put the cat back in for the Cops

[Eyemfaster]

if i ordered one now, when could i expect to get it shipped to houston?

[ItsToo]

I just got my downpipe delivered today. Overall happy with the quality. It looks great and the welds look good aswell. Only thing negative is that I ordered it with the divider grinded off for the t28. Not a big deal. it just takes a moment to do, but if you are without the proper tools it can be an unexpected pain.


But I can't wait to hear how it sounds! This is by far the best overall downpipe. price is good, quality is good, unique, and flat out bad ass!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

sorry we left your flange on, thanks for the compliments!

[sLiDewAys]

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Thanks for the feedback!

Still need an installed picture from someone using an OEM tranny exhaust mount please...anyone?

[driftpolice]

im on it dan, ill install this weekend with pics

[gorillas13]

Hey I'm curious if you can extend the downpipe to be a cat delete also. If so how much would this be. Thanks.... P.S. You guys should make a bottom mount tubular manifold also for a competitive price, say $400 range. That would be sick. I already have the intercooler and I'm getting the downpipe, then with the manifold I would have a total package. Keep doing what your doing, you guys are really doing the 240 community good.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

We will certainly work on more exhaust components in the future, maybe the next is a straight pipe exhaust with cat options, it would be easier for us to do it on that than the downpipe because the jig is already pretty complex for the downpipe. thanks!

[frizzle]

Do you have any of these in stock?

[TrustS13]

Ditto, and how soon can you ship it out?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

We are working on a group of ten pipes and I think we only have 3 sold as of right now

[manureman]

hey im still waiting for mine. i was told the flanges were backordered?

When my battery for my camera comes in I'll snap a picture for you. I finally got mine all situated. The downpipe has been on my car since I think June of 2009 and it's held up great, wonderful clearance no breaks or cracks in the welds. Holds up like a boss.

[slowerthanyou]

what is the downpipe bunged for? redtop skinny o2's? or blacktop fatty o2's?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

hey im still waiting for mine. i was told the flanges were backordered?
We have all the parts its just that we are waiting on martin to come back from Japan to do more first week of June.

nice

Its the 18mm one, which is the fatter one I think. You need an adapter for the skinny one.

[dongoesby]

If there is a group buy again, I will be definitely down for it. I've been waiting to get one for so long!!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Martin is back from japan next week so if you order one it will ship then.

Add to cart > Cobra Options Drop down menu > click 2/3 downpipe without turbo elbow > click the grey update button on the lower left

and then the price is updated for your custom pipe.

just ordered my cobra flex downpipe for t28 without an extra bung and a ebrake button in gold. customer service was great on my last order couldnt help to order more goodies..

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Thanks very much on the feedback! We'll get Martin to fab up your special order pipe straight away.

[skinz180189]

Hi. I've been looking at this downpipe on gtfactory.jp, and was pointed in your direction by an SXOC.co.uk member. I'm after one for my S14a, although I don't know if it has a separating piece in the outlet or not.

So, would I be best off getting the T25 one and just grinding the flange off if needs be? Also, can I get a quote all in for this, with the extra O2 sensor bung, shipped to the UK?

[LoFoSho]

how exactly does the cobra pipe hit the transmission when using a Tomei manifold?
does the cobra mount for the tranny not line up when using this?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Im not exactly sure what they did, they either angled the flange slightly towards the motor, or the flange is physically closer to the motor. Either way the change puts the cobra into the mission a little becuase with the flex there is really no room for these changes tomei made in the turbo position.

so the solution is to get any manifold other than tomei, or slice and re weld the downpipe at the union of the elbow and the flex to angle it away from the tranny to compensate.

[e1_griego]

Just wanted to post and say this is an *awesome* piece.

I bought a used one locally and installed this weekend. Only (potential) issue I might have is that the flange is so thick on the back of the turbo that I may need to re-stud the back of the turbo (or back the studs out some more) to get the studs to protrude all the way through the nuts. Right now I'm probably one thread shy on every nuts.

Gonna leave it like it is and keep an eye on it, but I'm very very very impressed by fit and finish.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Thanks!

If there is any lack of confidence in the studs even that you'd like one more thread, I recommend restuding it while its all apart because exhaust system reliability is a reoccurring issue on most drift cars and we like to do whatever we can to to make it more reliable. That's why we use the half inch thick flange to prevent warping and to increase uniform contact force on the gasket.

[dongoesby]

I'm also on the same boat of using tomei manifold. I don't want to get rid of it. Is it possible for you guys to make minor adjustment at the union of the elbow and flex section?

If so, you have my word for a purchase from me. (I have been trying to get one since feb this year.)

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I must have the car in the shop to make the adjustment for your tomei manifold. There is no other way.

Dan, can you make the MaxFlex Cobra with a longer straight (under the floorboard) section to make using a separate test pipe unnecessary?

If so, what would the cost be?

Thanks.

[Drifting-pedobear]

he addressed that earlier, the answer was no.

ill be ordering mine in a few hours. SIIICK!

[Drifting-pedobear]

hours was incorrect, but it has been BOUGHT!
looking forward to this item.

We combined the downpipe with a custom solid mounted straight exhaust for some excellent ground clearance, power, sound and reliability.

So, "divorced dump tube". Is this a true dump tube, like hit full boost and it screams like a banshee dump tube, or is this some kind of terminology I am not familiar with. Sorry for the amateur question. Thanks guy

Pictures make it pretty clear, it is a separated tube so the wastegate exhaust doesn't mix with the turbine exhaust immediately, they are kept seperate until the flex pipe section to reduce turbulence. No screaming.

Sidenote, just got my tax return gonna be ordering one of these for myself soon, just gotta get all the other pieces put together.

[alwyzDTF]

For people having problems with the divider mounting to their turbo due to the turbo already having one built in. Are you guys cutting the divider out of the down pipe or out of the turbo?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

we cut it out of the downpipe for you if you select T28 turbo option in cart.

[e1_griego]

Do you know when you'll have these back in stock?

Thanks!

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Wondering when these will be back in stock.

[zefside_s15]

I've been trying to buy this downpipe through your website but it won't complete the transaction, you already gave me a freight cost but the site doesn't allow a shipping option?

[TheRealSy90]

For everybody with these downpipes. Has anyone been able to run 5 bolts through the turbo flange? No studs. I'm asking because I want to order Stage 8 locking bolts for the turbo flange, but I can't tell if there's enough room between the bottom bolt holes and the pipe to slip the bolts in there.

You won't need them. I ran this DP with factory studs and fresh nuts never had a single nut back off, didn't even get loose. Just get a set of ratcheting wrenches, a stubby, and a crows foot so you can get all 5 tight the first time.

The T2 turbine housing for my td06 didn't come with any studs installed so that's why I was considering using locking bolts.

I read that the Tomei Expreme SR20 exhaust manifold has issues with this downpipe but what about the KA24DET Tomei Expreme exhaust manifold? Anyone have this setup?

[lewisfk]

I need a down pipe that will fit a full race t3 manifold setup and connect to the exhaust.

[Itsalexwoo]

Now when you say it hits the transmission with a tomei manifold. How bad are we talking cause I'm installing a CD009 and my current turbo elbow hits right at the 3 bolt flange

Late pass, but I will tomorrow... lol

Did you attempt this setup?

You have a Tomei turbo manifold? I have this downpipe with my sr20/cd009 and there's a ton of clearance. But I'm on a stock manifold.

Yeah I pushes it way close to the trans like I can't even bolt the manifold up. About how far would you say the down is from the trans?

[FaLKoN240]

I attempted and succeeded.

I had a hybrid SR-> KA-T manifold.

Now I have the Tomei. My installer said that the fitment with the pbm pipe was better to the chassis as it lowered the turbo. Making it not hug the trans tunnel so tightly.

It even made the cobra trans tunnel bracket match up perfectly.

My exhaust as a result is a bit lower, but it doesn't hit the car causing vibrations.

I planned on raising my car a bit going forward. So I'm happy. Sounds great.

[frsh2fourty]

Bumping an old thread but I've had a lot of discussion with people about fitment with this downpipe using the SR20 Tomei manifold. I just got the engine dropped and there was plenty of clearance

The trans clearance looks tight in the pic but there's a little more space than the pic shows.
