Default 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

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

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.

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
