downpipe question
 
I'm just curious as to if there is a pre-fabbed downpipe that is made that would fit on a 95 civic with an HF manifold/adaptor plate/ T3 turbo combo. I was thinking rev hard but then i thought that would probably hang too low. So are most people just getting dp fabbed up at muffler shops and whatnot? If not, what kind of downpipes are you using?

well i got mine done at a muffler shop, and specific downpipes(unless you have a certain kit) are so hard to come by that getting one made will probabaly save you time and maybe even money(depending on where you go)

this is what i did, i bought 2 j bends off ebay, a o2 bung, and a flex pipe, then just have someone weld ur dp flang to one of the j bends, have the o2 welded into the pipe, and weld it onto the other j pipe with the flex pipe, works out well, cant really by a pre fabed downpipe, they are different for everymanifold

i just had an exhaust guy do mine when he made my exhaust. 3in downpipe into a 2 1/2 exhaust straight thru with a muffler. its alot easier to do it all at once rather than doing a bunch of test fits and running back and forth to a welder. either learn how to weld, have a buddy that knows how to weld help you, or just bite the bullet and go to an exhaust shop. most of all, settle for no less than 2.5 pipe and no crush bends

Get a friend with a welder... give them a case of beer. You got a downpipe fabbed. O0

Atleast thats my policy for making people's dp's.
