the angle of the pic makes the coupler look closer than it really is. But I will keep an eye on it anyway. Thanks for the compliment.

for an exhaust shop downpipe... that thing looks great..

the exhaust shops around here wouldn't take much time to do ----, if you want it all crocked and maybe not completely welded they are the place to go.


looks like a good setup




all these dam picture threads.. i can't wait til i get a welder and get cracking on my buddy's del sol... :)

yeah, the guys at this muffler shop will actually listen to you when you tell them what you want...but they are going to charge you for it. I went in there and they were starting to mock up the downpipe but was concerned with being able to remove it, where the O2 needed to be, pipe diameter, and whether or not the two pipes needed to be the same size, and even made the wastegate tube blend into the main exhaust very smoothly and far enough downstream to prevent reversion through the turbo. I was very pleased with it, even though they were fairly high $.

yeah, cleaned the pipes with adhesive remover to get the stickers off, then cleaned with soap/water. dried them. hit them with hitemp aluminum color paint, then layed the hitemp clear. I will probably wetsand/buff the pipes in the spring so they are REALLY shiny.
