PoweredByMAX Flex Cobra
Circuit Sports "Loch Ness Monster" (flat pipe)

cusco has an ovalized one

^ I should have specified. the pbm one is badass, but a little out of my price range. Ill look into the circuit sport ones.

Ya, im all about the dmax and powered by max ones. But those are both in the 450 range. im looking for something around 200 bucks.

It's just a metal pipe, just scrape that shit.

"Scraping that shit" puts unecessary stress on the turbo nuts. Hence why many people's nuts back out.

Just save for a couple extra weeks/months/whatever, and get the PBM one.

D-max Cobra Max or Circuit Sports Oval Down pipe.

A friend of mine also picked up a oval one from a brand called Moonface.
Kinda pricey @ $400 thou. Sometimes that the way goes to get what you want.

drftwerks

just get any old downpipe.

section it (measure, cut, weld)

bang in your floor board a little if necessary.

lather rinse repeat.

Thanks for all the help guys.
I was really hoping for comparisons from people actually running a specific downpipe, so i could see if a circuit sport ( or whatever) cleared higher than a cx (or whatever) etc..

So if anyone is running an aftermarket dp, post up a picture and tell us what it is.

thanks.

The ISIS downpipe when paired with the ISIS elbow sits level with or above the frame rail. Ive seen pics but Im too lazy to search, just trust me. I have the ISIS elbow and a Megan DP and it hangs stupid low. So Im definately spending the 100 bucks on the cheap ISIS downpipe soon.

msanchez

^ thats exactly what i want to know.
anyone know if isis still makes a dp with a flex pipe?, its not on enjuku, but ive seen used ones floating around the marketplace here on zilvia

Odysseus

The ISIS DP doesnt have flexpipe. It sits pretty high, you shouldnt really need it.

flex setions are mainly for relieving stress on turbo nuts. no for scraping. SRs and CAs are notorious for the nuts backing out on the turbo. with a solid pipe engine torquing under load will put stress on them. without a flex just make sure you secure the downpipe properly to the transmission. transferring stress to a less important section of your exhaust. and youll be fine. use some locking nuts with white hi temp thread lock too. solved all my problems when i had my ca. id get the ISIS. their quality is great for the price. the oval downpipes are great. ive got a split dp for my rb25. splits into to small pipes between the flanges which makes mine even with the frame rail.

Make your own or stop driving over reflectors... jk, I think personally it would be in your best interest to just save up a little more and get the piece with great quality that you know will fit well and give you the clearance you need.

I love zilvia. when someone asks what they should get, 9 times out of 10 they say get the most expensive part there is. and thats the only way to go. (not directed at anyone) just a generalization. just think logical. he gave a budget of 200 bucks. and thats PLENTY for a downpipe holy crap. if it works, you get your moneys worth, and did i say it works.. get it. if something that is cheaper than pbm or cusco works just fine for someone else, why would you blow the extra money. that shit doesnt grow on trees haha. put the extra cash toward feeding you and/or your family.

S14DB

Yeah, heaven forbid we suggest what works best for what he is asking.

If your food and car budget are so closely related I would say your priories are fucked up.

I know Zilvia's own Blu808/Luke was constructing a downpipe with this exact 'need' in mind...maybe PM him to see if ever completed it? Always support 'local/zilvia/240sx' guys when you can


Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner
