I was wanting to buy a new downpipe and testpipe for my KA-T setup. I was wondering if these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW off ebay were any good? Will they fit a 1995 240? Or should I get the Megan downpipe and testpipe. Thanks

yeah, those will fit. Actually, they'll bolt up to your stock header as well. You'll have to make a downpipe to connect your turbo to that one though. Unless you're using a bottom mount manifold.

Those will not do a damn thing for you but piss you off. For a KA-T setup you typically have to make a custom downpipe. Every turbo manifold puts the turbo in a slightly different position. Your best bet is to get a exhaust shop to custom make you one. Just buy the flanges for it and take the car to them.

I have a T2 flanged bottom mount manifold. And the downpipe doesn't come up high enough. I had to extend my turbo dump, or 'elbow' to make it fit. The KA mounts the turbo too high in the engine bay.

Or at least this was my problem. I'm using stock motor mounts as well..

well i made that same down pipe using 2.5 mandrel, which is what they use on that one. it made me spool up quicker and made my car a tiny bit louder. but that setup on ebay will remove both cats if you use both pieces. and im pretty sure that it will kick your check engine light on (if your worried about that) hope i helped..
