We have done a big production run on our FLEX COBRA down pipe to bring down costs and to cut down on wait time for fabrication.

Its still 100% tig welded by hand still the by far the best down pipe available for preserving your manifold, gaskets, and exhaust system reliability on a super low car.

The new price is $320 which is $60 off the old price. We also include a wideband o2 bung (and a plug) with every pipe which was a $20 option so that brings the savings to $80. With stainless being soooo expensive going up in cost all the time, its nice to figure out a way actually get you guys a break.

We also implemented a nice laser logo badge, a beautiful brushed finish, and a lifetime warranty.

We hope you enjoy the improvements.

*if you have the tomei expreme manifold, that will push the turbo back towards the firewall and cause this pipe to hit the transmission
*all manifolds that maintain the stock position are not a problem.
*For KA-T fitment: The part was developed on SR and is compatible with KA with a manifold that puts the turbo in the same position as a stock SR.
You should verify the turbo position with the manifold manufacturer.

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

[slow40sx]

fuck yeah :snoop:

[BRAIN_Z33]

thats some very nice tig work man. keep up the good work!

[Om1kron]

awesome piece, I got one of the first runs and it has been holding up like a boss

[filluptieu]

how long does it take to receive it after I order to the states?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

thanks guys!

Its in stock in San Diego CA, and it takes 3 days to ship to TX

[va240dude]

Perfect timing as I am ordering one soon! You guys always put out great stuff, thanks for cutting us an awesome break and making some changes to improve over the old model!

[ROOSEY]

thats probably the sickest downpipe i have ever seen

[hpipro4]

is that mean im getting the new design???but i paid the old price and its still not here?

[speedgod^s13]

Will you guys be making anything like this for top mount set-ups?

[r34sr]

how is it that they can make something as simple as a downpipe look so sexy??? i swear ive always wanted to buy every part they offer , not because i need it but just because they are works of art......i thought fortune auto or my stance lx's were the best looking coilovers ever......then they release their coilovers and now i wish i waited a few months :-(

[illvialuver]

awesome. what applications? How about na ka?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

IM me your real name and paypal email address ~ im sure I can sort it out.
Will you guys be making anything like this for top mount set-ups?
well yes and no
its too sketchy to make a production top mount down pipe because there are so many manifold and turbo combinations, so to get you the essential portion of this downpipe and let you fab a 90 degree elbow on your turbo this is what we can do:
http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/e107_files/public/1244663796_2_FT2130_p1040738.jpg
I suppose if we ever made our own top mount manifold we could suport that with a complete downpipe.
awesome. what applications? How about na ka?
Chu funny gai, a downpipe for NA?

The second Flex Cobra application we make is for an RB swap using the McKinney RB25DET Motor Mount Kit for S13/S14 240SX

[hpipro4]

pmed you my info bro.

thnx

[killer240]

hey dan how long is this deal gona last?

i need to jump on this and get the super high exhaust when its out for grabs

[S-Nation S13]

nice , but will this raise the entire exhaust system, or just down pipe. i still feel like my resonator will hit even with this item.

[killer240]

well if your talkin about the whole catback then no it wont, cuz its made like that.
unless you fix it and try to bring it up against the frames.. if you want something thats almost kissing on the frame, might as well sell what you got and do a custom exhaust.

[Black240Ct]

http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/e107_files/public/1244663796_2_FT2130_p1040738.jpg


it would be cool to have this with a v band at the elbow to flex pipe.

so i can bolt the elbow (tack weld the bolts so they wont back out) on my turbo and then v-band to the flex pipe..

id buy the sh!t out of that

[DC Dan MAX USA]

pmed you my info bro.

thnx
Refunded you $60 for the price change on 2011 model.

at least until we run out again, but we will try to produce with the same scale in the future to maintain the same price on other production runs.
nice , but will this raise the entire exhaust system, or just down pipe. i still feel like my resonator will hit even with this item.
The tranny exhaust mount is slotted/adjustable so it is optional, but yes it is can to raise the rest of the exhaust system.

You shouldt shorten the hangers on the rest of the exhaust system so you dont abuse the tranny mount.

I see why you would want to do that being used to your former exhaust systems issues but maybe you dont need to do that because point of the vertical flex section and the ground clearance is your turbo bolts wont be prone to loosening

[nathanong87]

hot-spec. i'd really like one of these down the road!

[homeslicej2]

Nice deal, glad you guys are continuing to develop products for the S-chassis.

[chiboy002]

LOL the transmission hanger/bracket plate looks like a penis. Otherwise a nice product

[whitepony22]

I have an old school Full Race bottom mount T2 with a FP 20G. Any ideas on fitment with this? I don't believe the manifold is off from factory location, but I couldn't tell as I'm still finishing up my build.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I don't know, maybe full race can answer that.

[hpipro4]

just curious when will my dp come in? been 22days since i placed my order.....

[DC Dan MAX USA]

All old downpipe orders that were waiting on this shipment will be dispatched Monday.

[hpipro4]

now i get why its taking 4ever but its worth the wait to get the new stuff!!was planning on welding my own wideband o2 bung but now i wont have to wooohooo...u guys rock!!!

All old downpipe orders that were waiting on this shipment will be dispatched Monday.

[killer240]

im so stoke bout how it will sound, will get mine at the end of the month along with my shift knob. next is the catback. sweetness

[yabeet]

I was about to order and it gave me 2 options in the scroll downlist, call me stupid I dont understand which is which.
I have a 2871 in stock bottom mount position.

Could I also get a shipping quote to T2H 3C1 [business address] via USPS priority.

Thank you!

[usdm180sx]

Wow this is a beautiful piece!

[yabeet]

Ordered, called to clear up confusion, scroll down list is for flange piece that seperates exhaust and wastegate.

Thanks!

[Stiky]

You guys wouldn't happen to be able to make on for a HCR32 using a Nissan turbo could you?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

not right now... we can make exhaust for anything but i have to have the car in the shop to fab it

[Stiky]

Ah, sounds good. Is there any specific reason you haven't made one yet for an R32? I guess it's safe to assume that the lack of them in the US is the main reason?

[besTint]

wow that is hotness.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

correct, the downpipes are developed in the USA branch, almost no R32 here

[Drifting-pedobear]

QQ @ lower pricing.
if only i had waited 2 months.

the world is a cruel, cold place.

[dongoesby]

if you have the tomei expreme manifold, that will push the turbo back towards the firewall and cause this pipe to hit the transmission



i know i asked before, but is there a solution for this yet?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

If you have to keep that manifold - solution is to cut, reposition, and reweld the pipe so it does not hit.

We will provide this solution to the first customer that can bring their car to our shop for free.

[xiaphin]

Have one of the 2010 models and it is a piece of art. MAX is actually tigged onto the side instead of the new nameplate. Had to ditch my aftermarket tubular manifold for the stocker since the pipe was hitting firewall. Was a distance issue with the manifold not the PBM piece. Very high quality. Great product.

zomg why isnt your shop in canada. id have my 200 down there in a second.
when there is a solution, im in for a dp too. every exhaust i put on scrapes so bad. i almost want a new manifold. and a custom vband pbm exhaust would be boss.

[EsChassisLove]

So sick. Is there any wait on this if I ordered it now for the SR

[DC Dan MAX USA]

there is no wait we have plenty in stock

I want to know what I'm getting myself into if I get this dp.

[Shift-240]

Il picking up one of these bad boys. You guys still have them?

[cured13]

Do you guys have any plans on making manifold, downpipe and intake for the new EFR turbos?

[BoostinIX]

Someone must have the expreme manifold out there, help us out!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Il picking up one of these bad boys. You guys still have them?
yes its in stock now.
Do you guys have any plans on making manifold, downpipe and intake for the new EFR turbos?
no, we have plans to make a manifold for the stock turbo first since thats what our downpipe is made for already. We will look at top mount stuff later after the current trajectory of our exhaust parts has been completed.

We have considered making new downpipes for the companies that have limited the available downpipes to their own by moving the OEM turbo position but instead we will focus on making a nice manifold with a more universal OEM position more accessible.

Good call, will it be cast or tubular manifold?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Schedule 40 pipe like full race.

[Wave_s13]

Yes - what did you do to make it fit!!

[BoostinIX]

^AFAIK, nobody stepped forward with an expreme in their car to let them modify the Cobra to work.

Too bad I'm not in Cali ;)

i have this manifold and im in SD let me know guys i know this is an older thread

[DC Dan MAX USA]

My motivation to support another company's manifold has dwindled since we are making our own bad ass manifold now.

We can still do it anyhow if you would like it done on your car.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Cobras are back in stock now!

[towlie]

I got mine, thanks Dan!

[ZAKU]

How would the asymetric outlet flange line up to the regular 3" flange on my cat?

Or would you guys sell your asymetric flanges on their own?

[Conrad 2NR]

Subscribed for when back in stock.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

no not yet

[Wave_s13]

Any time frame on when this will be ready?

[harangatang]

Do you have any of the cobra's in stock?

[usdm180sx]

Dan can you take a picture of how the tomei expreme manifold will not work with this downpipe? How the downpipe will not clear the transmission tunnel? I was trying to visualize it but couldn't figure it out.

[twinspool]

here you go
S13 SR Tomei Expreme manifold and PBM Cobra : SR20DET Forum (rear-drive) (http://forums.nicoclub.com/s13-sr-tomei-expreme-manifold-and-pbm-cobra-t502371.html)

I know with my stock manifold it was perfect fit. Possible solutions would be trimming bell housing for clearance, and hammer in that area where hits the chassis or cut and weld new plate in for better clearance.

[usdm180sx]

Awesome, thanks! I have the hks manifold so we'll see

[usdm180sx]

*if you have the tomei expreme manifold, that will push the turbo back towards the firewall and cause this pipe to hit the transmission

*if you have the tomei expreme manifold, that will push the turbo closer to the motor and cause this pipe to hit the transmission.

Fixed

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z50/xiaphin/1990%20Fastback%20SR20%20Build/IMG_6204.jpg

It looks like the angle of the flange of the head of the Tomei Expreme manifold is perpendicular to the flange of the turbo (ie 90 degrees). The HKS has a little more outward angle (towards the strut tower and away from the motor) so it should clear the bellhousing. I still need to verify this.

This is the HKS manifold:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/ncarpio1/61c902a3.jpg

Couldn't really find any good pictures of the angle n the tomei:
http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx1/DelValle_Detail/IMG_20110615_110804.jpg

The best way to tell is if someone can take a pic of a tomei like this to do a comparison:

[wutangben]

are these in stock? does this delete the cat/test pipe?

[RocketOgre]

are these in stock? does this delete the cat/test pipe?

Don't know about them still being in stock, but I just got mine and it does not delete the cat/test pipe. So you still have the option.

I just got mine, and it sure is a good looking piece! I can't wait to install it on my car but my car recently got hit so I have to wait a little while before I get to install it. Which brings me to a great point about the guys that sell these. I just got a package yesterday a few days after getting the initial pipe with a bung plug in it. At first I was like, wtf is this why did someone send me this? Then I went and looked at my lonely cobra downpipe sitting in waiting and sure enough, it was a plug for the extra 02 bung I had ordered. I hadn't even noticed that they didn't include the bung, some awesome person at their shop did though and sent it seperatly! I'm super impressed and will be ordering more stuff from these guys in the future.

TL:DR Didn't know they forgot to send a piece of my downpipe, they sent it anyway, good dudes.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

Yes in stock now. Thx for the kind words.
