Default 4g civic, t25.. downpipe question

Does anyone know of a fairly easy way to make a downpipe? i dont have access to a welder and i dont know if i could drive the car to the local muffler shop to have the downpipe made.. any ideas? if anyone has a downpipe for a t25 that will fit, let me know!

you will need the flange for it.. you can bring that to the muffler shop and have them fab it up for you. Might be a good idea to buy one of those pieces of flex pipe to use, also make sure that you have the right flange to mate with whatever cat you are using.

typically muffler shops won't just dump the cat for you.. it's kinda illegal (as in the EPA could take their shop away).

So unless you got the good old boy network kicking.. might be better for you to just keep it in there and just knock out the guts.

i knew i was going to need to buy the flange.. will it hurt to drive the car for about 10 minutes with no exhaust on the turbo? i dont have a trailer or anything to get it there with.

probably take less than 10 minutes
