Downpipe
 

I am running a d16y8 and have all my turbo stuff except a downpipe, do i make it or buy it, if so where do i buy them?

Re: Downpipe
 

You make it, this is HOMEmadeturbo.

If you choose not to make it, there are a few guys on around here that will do it for you. Keep in mind that a downpipe is made to fit a manifold/turbo and a certain car, they are not universal.

how much would somebody make a downpipe for me for

Re: Downpipe
 

I am currently making my own, i traced the flange on the turbo, cut it out on paper, then scribed it to a piece of 1/2 mild steel, and plan on cutting it with either a plasma cutter or a torch today. then i will just get some exhaust from the local automotive shop and bend it myself with my uncles mandrel bender, if u use your resorces you should be able to do it youelf, i think mine will cost a total of less than $10

A piece of 3" straight pipe, a sawzall, mig welder, and "whitey" bends ownz me >:D

Re: Downpipe
 

yeah that all ownz me i need to find one...or get someone to make me one

Re: Downpipe
 

just buy a mendrel bend, cut everything to fit, the take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it all together for you. should be relatively cheap.

Re: Downpipe
 

Any muffler shop will charge over 100 to get everthing set up right


dont forget the flex pipe

Re: Downpipe
 

$100 just for welding?

Re: Downpipe
 

Hell yeah!

If only everyone's uncle had a mandrel bender. Bastard. ;)
