Cutting the flange off, turning it about 15 degrees and rewelding it. Or just buy mine.... already cut and welded.

I called HKS of Japan about sending me one over and how much it would cost but its some holoday for a week over there right now... If it costs too much I will just have a SR DP made to fit, hehehe.

Or you could just buy an SR Turbo Outlet and save yourself the hassle.

Sorry to jack your thread, but I have an SR T25. How can I tell if I have the right outlet for a SR dp?

well, I got a stock Sr downpipe and turbo elbow. Gonna bolt it up tommorrow, it should work fine. Thats what i would do, or if you have the dough on hand, spring for a better turbo elbow, like a Greddy, HKS, or at least the SSautochrome version. IMO.

Did this work out ok for you? I don't have a downpipe either (or at least, no more than the 3 inches of one that was sawn through when the motorset was pulled :)) so I'm thinking I'll do the same thing.

If it did work, did your O2 sensor fit the SR outlet? From what I've read, I'm guessing it didn't?

It did work, and the o2 sensor bolted into my Sr housing. only thing, ehaust hangs kinda low, but, such is life. I bet if you had Nismo motor mounts, it would fit perfectly, but as it is, it is fine for me.

you could just go to a local exhaust shop and have them mandrel bend you one for like, 20 bucks. i dont have any cash left after all the stuff i bought for my car (a big thanks to everyone who sold me stuff!) so thats what i'll be doing. my friend got one done for his drag civic and it looks pretty sharp for such a low cost. i dont have to worry about rust though, might be a factor where you guys live..

My NISMO mounts came in the mail today, actually. I'm going to go this route then; I'll let you all know if my exhaust seems low with the NISMO mounts.
