not mine, but...

 

 

Is raul still the best?

Just look at these bends, gas flows happily

 

Those look great. sig heil~

Wow, it was really dirty and unpainted here:

 

the unfinished DP on the holset 3 1/2"

3 1/2" DP on T3/T4

 

I don't have any photos of the c900 ones that I made, but I did rig up an el-cheap-o downpipe for Palmer, and one for GA. Not pretty, but they work!

 

IJ = best on the netz

wanna trade cars?

PM'd you.

 

Thanks for the replies

Did you guys use the standard trans support bracket? I was thinking about just building the downpipe and then making a new bracket rather than trying to make the pipe work with the standard one.

 

ya that gets installed in the trash can. you can put it on if ya want....

 

IJ DP is HAWT

Old stainless C900 3" downpipe with wide-mouth mounting flange for a TE-05. I don't have any good ones of it free standing, or passing around the inner fender and inner tripod though, sorry. You just have to play with the routing, cut some bits of angle and try to piece them together so that they'll fit.

Remember that if you tack anything together in the car, disconnect the battery, and the ECU before you start. Disconnecting the alternator wouldn't be a bad idea too.

Now has TD-04 15G from the Aero, headers updated to T25 turbine inlet, turbine outlet flange is the 9000 3 bolt.

Stainless 9000 bullhorn headers, Hahn Racecraft SS16G TD-05 10cm^2, and 3" stainless downpipe with 3-bolt turbine inlet (not the best transition, I know. The one we made to fit the stock TD-04 was much better, but wouldn't clear the water pump without shifting the whole thing to the right and messing with the cold side inlet tube and the compressor inlet tube).

Best,
Drew

 

Those headers look like the dodge symbol

 

in case some of you hadn't noticed. this thread isn't for just any down pipe, but for c900's.

 

Ding ding ding. Posting a gm900/9000 downpipe isn't going to help nate figure out how many bends he'll need for his c900 dp ;-)

 

i was wondering why this was in the c900 forum.

 

I know

I could have just told him to buy 2 180* U-bends, 3 if he was feeling like he might mess up a cut or two. I've always done fine with 2 of them.

 

i'd like to rock a manifold like that on my 900 w/ the holset..

 

IJ, nice DP and nice Drill press

 

well, I knew that but I thought that basically after the cat it was fairly similar routing... I am probably wrong, and therefore should rightfully stay in my own domain

 

spgbee- i was of the same mindset with not using a support bracket.....i bottomed out one day in a construction zone on a manhole cover that was sticking up really far and it snapped my downpipe right off behind the flange. it was repairable, but a terrible inconvenience. i'm confident that if i had a support bracket, it probably wouldn't have broke like that.

 

ya i dont think any of my cars have had that bracket on it and they have all been fine. and on my '90 spg i just trashed it cause it wasn't going to work with the 3 1/2'' DP

 

Found a few more where the downpipe comes around the inner tripod to meet the exhaust, it's not as tricky as it looks. This is 3" tubing, and a little bending on the stock support bracket that bolts to the passenger side driver flange fits fine, no rattles either. And doesn't put much load into the turbo, important for the headers.

Best,
Drew

 

Then money bags comes in with his fancy ceramic coating.

 

Factory c900 rally car. From Saabworks website. 4" DP into 3" exhaust.

Wish I had something like that.

 

im likeing that tower brace (ideas come into head)

 

Here are some of the prototyping pictures. Since then I have lowered the header pipe and put in a heat shield to protect the inner tripod.

Also, the cat was upgraded. The secondary bung is for the wideband.

I'll post pictures of the modes sometime in the future.
