That was my concern... And room constraints... But from the picture, it's clocked correctly...

that looks like it will work but you will need to fab up some extra pipe to go from that three bolt flange to the j pipe

Yeah, it'll work. It's clocked right. I'm aware I'd have to fab that up. I can do all that at the shop. We were trying to come up with a way to make the downpipe ourselves at the shop, but everything we came up with would have been ugly and probably not flow too well. I figure I can get that downpipe and if, for some reason, it doesn't work I'll just sell it to one of the 5,000 240sx owners I know. The 240sx is the new Honda Civic...

If you get the "casting only" of the PEP DP, what exactly is it. What I'm thinking it is, is a solid piece that doesn't have anything done to it, just to "mold" off of it. Am I correct, or could I utilize the actual piece on my car? HELP?!
EDIT: Obviously you guys can see that I'm trying to decide what I want to do for a DP. I'd really like to fabricate something, but utilize the S13 DP. However, if the POPE DP casting can actually be utilized on the vehicle, that'd be a better option. Any input from those that may have fabricated there own, let me know and point me in the direction of your "how-to" thread...

Has done what? Used the S13 downpipe? What POPE DP did you get Mike?

I did before I got the pope dp... by the time I hacked enough to get the angle right away from the block and clear the ac bracket I pretty much only had the flange and about 1/3 of the 90 bend before welding in a tighter bend leading out. It was a b**** and most wouldn't have the patience to make this work. Didn't take pics since it was so frankensteined but didn't leak and after exhaust wrap it did the job and almost looked pretty

+1 and it was cheaper then just a downpipe from the pope. Grant it I paid a little less for it then what he is selling it for on his site. I paid roughly 350-400 for a 3" downpipe, 3" catless midpipe with gaskets INSTALLED.

WHAT is the casting piece exactly?

A completely unusable cast???

The casting that is being referred to is the Pope Downpipe that is a stainless steel casted piece designed for the protege.

It's form of manufacturing? Or it is a cast?
In the pic its the cast piece. That's what you'd get. You'd have to fab the rest

Is it absurd to consider that the calipers might be interchangeable on these 2 vehicles based off their rotor dimensions?
