Downpipe question...

[ILikeMy240sx]

What I have:S13 redtop in 96 240sx.

Part in question:MR downpipe attached to OEM turbo elbow and MR testpipe.

Problem & Question:The hanger at the end of the downpipe where it is supposed to connect to the transmission mount does not even closely line up with the mount on the transmission. The hanger is about good 1.5inches away from where it's supposed to bolt onto. Did anyone else have similar probs?

[justinNISMO]

yes its about 1.5 inch away i havent had any probs yet but i used a aftermarket dump pipe and it rubs on the steering shaft you have same prob with oem dump pipe

i didnt hook that mount up either, and it just seems to chill, i havent noticed anything rubbing or anything like that, and i have the MR outlet pipe too.....but i dunno, i have an S13, so possibly there isnt that problem...

i just removed it. you don't need it.

i believe the MR dp is clocked wrong.... mines the same.. i had to weld an extra piece to connect it to the transmission mount.

greddy is the same...it was off about 1 or 2 inches...i didnt hook it up

[Hijacker]

from personal experience, you don't really need that extra mount. I've been driving a car that has a custom made DP without that hanger, and it's been running smoothly for 2 years with no rubbing, etc.

hmm I think my dremel is calling... cut that little sucker off...

[jdm_master_X]

remove that POS. its only there for added security. be a man and go commando!

i connected mine because i have a cheapo megan manifold and i dont want that thing to crack... so the more support the betterr
