downpipe question

[kazuma]

k here is the deal, last year i bought a turbo kit off a dude on zilvia and the kit was off an s14. i know since its a ka there is not alot of differences and 95% of the parts have been bolt on without issue.

now my question is i have the turbo and manifold bolted up and have tried to get the downpipe in but havent been successful because it seems to hit against the steering column.

is there a big difference between s13's and s14's in terms of steering column positioning? if not whats the best way to get the downpipe in ? from underneath the car and feed it up or put it in from the top and find a way to wedge it down?

i think the s13 and s14 are different in that area, your probably gonna have to redo that dp or just get another one

which mani/turbo/dp your using?

if its not too bad you can maybe dent the downpipe to clear the steering column where its hitting, I had to do this on my original kat setup since my calculations were a bit off on the angle. if its really off you are going to have to do some modifications to make it work or get a new one I suppose.

Could mark it very carefully and take pictures. Go to exhaust shop and have them put a slight bend in it. What I did with one before...
