WTB Upgrade Downpipe for Factory Turbo

[M4N B4G]

Looking for a full replacement for the old "s" pipe. I've already got the Corksport 3" D-pipe back so I need a d-pipe that has the same flange where the d-pipe meets the exhaust.
I would be getting the Corksport one but they're unavailable and they didn't even have a timeline for when they'd have one. The reason I can't wait is I'm in the process of building the motor and the turbo manifold and stock d-pipe are off already

If anyone could even point me in the direction of a solution otherwise my only hope is to see if an exhaust shop could fab me one

I've got the market cornered, but I also offer one of the best downpipes ever made for the car. www.popeperformance.com

I have a ghl for sale. It is a three inch.

I like it but I need one that can bolt to the Corksport 80mm which steps down to fit the factory d-pipe. Or can you do a ball and socket style connection in 3"

The only downpipe that might have done this is the old style CS. You'll be much happier in the longrun if you cut the step down off your CS midpipe and stick with the 3" all the way it will eliminate what would be the bottleneck in the exhaust. If you were to order one of my pipes I recommend getting the flex but no flange, and I can make it extra long so its easier to tie into your CS pipe. It would be a job that any decent exhaust shop should do for $50-100.

Thats what I'm thinking I'm going to do. it'll be funny as hell driving to the exhaust shop with it dumping at the D-pipe

How would be the best way to order that and make sure its longer?

bump

Sorry, I missed your post. Order the pipe with flex, but no flange and shoot me an email when you order so I can build it extra long. How long is the section on the CS that will be coming off? I can add up to about 8 inches to the dp.

Buy from the pope!

Its all good Pope I probably will be ordering it either this Fri or next Mon. Thanks for all the info too!

 

[thepope540]

Sounds good. I just got an order for one and thought it might be you - obviously it wasn't. I look forward to building you a pipe!

Thanks Nick!

do u have to pull the turbo off to get the pipe on and does it rub anywhere?
IT LOOKS LIKE SOME SICK WORK BY THE WAY

 

[Tzar177]

Yes you have to remove the turbo to install and it may or may not rub depending on your setup. I have steedspeed mani with stock turbo and I clear the water neck with about 1/4" room to spare

 

[proteged]

[noyesboy]

[M4N B4G]

Having an issue with the Pope downpipe. First didnt come with hadware or a new gasket. Second, the pipe touches the turbo return fitting and keeps the header from seating correctly on the head. Pretty pissed about the flange too. I had to cut a relief for the one of the upper bolts where the dpipe meets the turbo because the hole was too close to the pipe and I couldn't find a stainless "spacer". It seems to be one problem after another with this thing.
