I have an RHB5 turbo with the stock downpipe adapter.

the adapter points down, towards the block.

I need to drive my civic about 25 km's to my exhaust guy so i can get the downpipe connected to the cat.

will i be okay running the car to him, without damaging any of my parts of my engine bay?

I have a/c, will that unit get messed up if drive with out the downpipe connected?

thanks,
chris

 

just use common sense. is there enough room where the exhaust comes out. not to burn or melt anything?

make sure it isnt anywhere near the AC lines.

 

why dont you drive down there with your stock manifold and downpipe on... and when you get to the shop.. just take it off and and bolt on the turbo with manifold it just seems safer that way wouldnt you think

You do run the risk of melting parts, hoses, belts, radiator fan.... and not only that... but it will be loud as hell... and smell horrible...
