Have you run it to testify that it will suit what the OP is looking for, or are you just name dropping?

hehehehe...... srsly i need some shit w/ mad clearance.....not some JDM TYT3 $hIT y0 that costs way the fuk to much.

im wanting to try the 1-2-1 setup since in my past experiences they give awesome clearnce, i just wonder how well its made/and will fit.
what are you super low doods doing??

sonomadrifter · 12-05-2009, 03:01 PM

KoukiMonsta
I'm in the same boat.

I just got rid of a no name solid downpipe for a megan with flexpipe after I thought that the exhaust not being able to flex was a cause of my turbo lines cracking (now braided).

But it hands sooo low I've destroyed the SS weave within literally ten miles of driving. Now I'm considering going back to the no name, it had a slight curvature throughout over the megan's almost right angle bend which scares me. The old one would drag the ground, this one is going to hit.

I'll see if I cant find some pictures comparing the two.

There seems to be no affordable option and I dont have the tools to weld SS.

Propaganda · 12-05-2009, 05:42 PM

How the hell did you bust your (stock?) turbo lines? I would think your downpipe would crush before that happens

Don't get a blitz downpipe. Shit hangs low..

s13dan · 12-05-2009, 06:35 PM

werd, i have a blitz and its real low.

I have seen a DP that is oval shaped, dunno what brand but it seemed to be a great idea.

It's not a name drop when you know how it fits. It's custom made so it fits properly every time.

Yup, stock lines and motor mounts.

Bolts backing out, then hitting something.

Lines cracked/split.

Coolant and oil everywhere.

No fun.

I like that split downpipe posted above. Bottom line, dont do Megan.

blu808 · 12-05-2009, 07:50 PM

would you guys be interested in some oval down pipes? I could build them with a flex section as well.

*burnsauto* · 12-05-2009, 08:11 PM

blu808, what is really lacking, is something similar to the Power By Max downpipe, but without the top portion that connects to A T25/T28. Nice smooth sectional cuts, a flex section and fits just as snug. I'd love to run one, but I'd like to run something similar in combination with a twin scroll top mount setup.

I've broken countless studs and had a lot of hardware rattle loose because my exhaust system lacks a flex section to help deal with the vibration.

Without that top piece for the T25/T28 turbine housing, you could prob. market it for around $230-$250 msrp, which is a little easier to grasp than shelling out 380 bucks and ditching the tomei expreme outlet i already blew $210 on.

EDIT:

Also forgot to mention guys, that ebay is a ripoff of HPI's downpipe.

ya somebody told me that, again pricey...

*burnsauto* · 12-05-2009, 08:36 PM

real parts cost real money.

You dropped good money on your wheel/tire setup. What's stopping you from other investments?

...maybe if the dp had a good offset?

)This pic was from forever ago, so thats why you don't see the fuel setup and stuff(

I've been running a Megan or similar shit ball copy cat downpipe for 3-4 years now, without issue. I added a flex into it (this is before you could even buy a flexed downpipe) and have since recirculated my wategate into it. If I never added the flex, it would be up above the frame rail without issue.

I dunno man...I just can't fathom being so low that you drag a downpipe lol. Just confusing to me

xdumbxguyx · 12-05-2009, 09:13 PM

what motor mounts are you using? that could make a big difference as well

blu808 · 12-05-2009, 09:29 PM

I will start working on this on Monday. If you guys want I could build titanium oval down pipes with flex sections. But it would not be cheap.
