Down pipe
 

I need a down pipe for my prelude h22. I know a muffler shop can do it but they will need my car there. I emailed REV hard and a few other companies who sell kits for my car and they havnt responded. Anyone know a good company I can buy a decent downpipe for my lude
Thanks

Re:Down pipe
 

just drive it without a downpipe to the muffler shop. ;D

Re:Down pipe
 

Seriously?

Re:Down pipe
 

Who cares about not having a downpipe for 10 minutes.

put the turbo on and go to the shop. Just make sure they know ur coming.
Besides theyll probably ear ya a mile away ;)

Re:Down pipe
 

just make sure theres nothiing plastic in the path of the exhaust. thats how i melted my fan :'(

Re:Down pipe
 

this is for an internal gate right?....just making sure you arent driving there without a wg...

Re:Down pipe
 

it will be an external wastegate. Is that still ok?

Re:Down pipe
 

if you got an external gate, make sure you have a dumptube or something. if you dont, then the exhaust will spit straight out to your fans, and plastic likes to melt when your exhaust gas gets sprayed on it.

Re:Down pipe
 

depends on his manifold...anyway, driving without your dp (if youre using a blockoff flange and dont put it on) will just cause you not to boost since its like having your internal gate open

Re:Down pipe
 

What if i put the block off flange on where the wastegate is supposed to go and just dont boost at all on the way to the garage? Bad idea?

Re:Down pipe
 

if you block that off... wouldnt that mean all your exhaust will have to go through the turbine... i think this would mean your turbo will be spinning mad crazy...

just get a friend who can weld.... or rent a welder.... and buy some mandrel bends.... precut everything..... then go out and rent the welder....

thats what i did.... cost me like 50... 20$ for the rental... and like 30 for materials...

Re:Down pipe
 

im assuming he meant block off where the internal was and use his external, which is fine. the dp doesnt matter

Re:Down pipe
 

Just disconnect a charge pipe if you are worried about boosting on the way to the exhaust shop...

Re:Down pipe
 

not a good idea, it will make your turbo go crazy

Re:Down pipe
 

Call a tow truck if you dont want to do it yourself how far is the exhaust shop

remember this Quote berofe you do everything
"Pay a little now or a lot later"

Re:Down pipe
 

oh yea i know all about that quote. what i think i will do is... put the external waste gate on, hook everything up and drive to the exhaust shop. and never boost high enough for the wastegate to open. Good or bad?

Re:Down pipe
 

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about this problem.

There is a good muffler shop, literally, like 4 blocks from my house. ;D

Re:Down pipe
 

have them weld one of the bends onto the exhaust flange pointing down. clamp some muffler tubing onto it so it exits near the ground. drive there and stay out of boost. have em finish it when you get there.

Re:Down pipe
 

the wg dumping onto your ---- wont have any effect right away....hook it up, drive normal. but if you dont put the blockoff plate where your turbo used to have an internal gate (if it did), then you wont get any boost...just letting you know so you dont freak out

Re:Down pipe
 

hit up www.lovefab.com they might be able to make something up for ya without the car there and for relatively low cost......if not u could always use flex pipe or just drive it there without one to get made...

Re:Down pipe
 

that would cost a shitload of money imo, and i doubt they could do it unless he had one of their manifolds or a big-name brand one

Re:Down pipe
 

what im actually going to do is get a BIG U pipe that i made my intercooler piping out of... cut it all and make a down pipe that will fit. Then lable the order they go in and tape them together, and take it to a muffler shop and have it welded. That a good idea? or is the chance of it getting messed up to great? thanks for all the replys guys

Re:Down pipe
 

tape them together?

Re:Down pipe
 

tape the pipe together exactly how it fits.. than take the PIPE in a different car to the shop.
not drive the car with tape on it for a down pipe. haha sorry for not specifing

Re:Down pipe
 

i drove me turbo charade to the muffler shop bout 20 k's away from me with no downpipe :-\
fukin loud as hell and was worried that itd catch fire..

Re:Down pipe
