Hey guys

I was wondering what kind of shops can make a 3in downpipe for me? Here in PA we dont have many places that do custom work. Any chain shops like meineke or something that could do it? And also, do I need an o2 sensor installed in the downpipe to pass emissions? I will be using a Microtech standalone but I'm not sure if i need that sensor or not. Sorry for the newbie question but the car is only a few weeks from being on the road (FINALLY!)

Thanks!-Ian

hey if it passes the sniffer (and my KA24E did w/o EGR and new cat w/ flying colors) then all you gotta worry about is finding someone who "doesn't notice" the missing / different hardware..

Speaking of downpipes... anyone got a factory unit I could buy from ya? I have a fab shop who could make aftermarket 3" ones but I need a stock one to fab from... and maybe a few pics of you guys running aftermarket ones installed :)

Other than that... finding a muffler shop who is competent to do the right thing will be the hardest part..

I got mine from Austrailia on eBay. It's actually the turbo elbow and downpipe in once peice. I haven't gotten it yet, but it just shipped monday. I'm expecting it early next week. I'll let everyone know what I think about it.
