Default new down pipe (now with housing pics)
I was bored today at the shop, so I decided to make a new down pipe with a "v" band flange.

its a 3" vband flange with a 3.5" pipe

not the best welding, but it will work. lol

gangsta.. you should grind the outside like you did on inside I hate the whitey bends, but sometimes it the only option for a super tight radius.
