the stock dp doesnt have a flex....

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.
I did mine up the same way as Drunkie, but kept the v-band clamp at the bottom of the rear header and used a flex in front of the cat right after the bend.

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.

have any pictures?
12-03-2010
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.

run a big cam then lets see how long the welds last
12-03-2010
silver gtp I stole your pic for my exhaust thread, let me know if you want it removed.
12-03-2010
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.

Could you get one looking up in the firewall tunnel by where the first 02 bung was. Thanks
12-04-2010
They last about 3 months tops. Trust me.run a big cam then lets see how long the welds last

Sorry 01GTP. I didn't get a chance to jack it up and climb under it today for pictures. I got tied up doing stuff with my daughter. The snow tires need to go on this weekend though so I should be able to get them tomorrow.
12-04-2010

I took 3 pictures of the downpipe I made to replace the stock sink trap. There is an album in my profile that has them.
Here's a summary of what it took to make it: I bought a new v-band clamp with flanges off e-bay for about $25 iirc. The high flow cat and flex came from ZZP for about $100. 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.
