The stock downpipe doesn't have a flex section like we use on our headers. The flange at the top of the downpipe does have a flexible head to give some movement with the engine though.Quote:

Sorta like that. The amount of space left available after the merge collector wasn't long enough to fit a flex in so I had to put it right after the bend running horizontally.Quote:

Here you go. Just a crappy cell phone pic I took after I got it done.
Thats because their engines rock side to side not front to back, trust the guy that works at an exhaust shop.Quote:

silver gtp I stole your pic for my exhaust thread, let me know if you want it removed.
No problem. I'll take a better picture for you now that I know you're interested in using it in the exhaust thread. Would hate to crap up your thread with that bad pic when a good one is only a trip to the garage away.Quote:

All the piping used came from the original downpipe. The rear header was cut just after the collector (the top of the original flex). The short, straight pipe was cut and welded onto the end of the cat. The slip fit right before the rear O2 was kept in place allowing the cat to be slid out of the rear half of the exhaust. The new flex was welded onto the front of the cat. A short piece of straight pipe was welded on after the collector and a bung was added for the wideband. The part of the stock sink trap with the v-band was cut off at the angle needed to match up to the new flex and welded on. One of the flanges from the new v-band was welded to the bottom of the rear header. Everything was then installed. I also cut the crossover and put a flex in since the ends of it don't slide straight in the way it's made. Band clamps were placed at the 3 slip joints that are left.
Thanks for the info. Added it to my thread.
