This is the custom O2 down pipe and B pipe that my shop made, we have no more clearence problems. and would you guys be intested to buying something like this? the cost would be about 150 or so. then you would have to have a B pipe made too, or we could make one and sell it seperatly. we have all the 6 bolt flanges made. it is 3in from the turbo back. Questions?

Why not have the elbow and downpipe made into one continuous piece. Instead of having to get an elbow and downpipe separately? Or make an elbow that will clear the steering column but still be a direct replacement, so people don't have to have a custom downpipe also

Me too. Make it and I will buy. 1 piece carbon steel. Also, maybe you could put an extra O2 bung in there for people with widebands and just plug it for people without.

I bought a 1 piece from Australia but still have clearance issues. I took it to a weld shop and had them notch it and seal it. So my 3" back gets narrowed to 2.5" at the steering shaft area. I would buy another one if it would clear everything without notching it.

I just had an adapter made that would allow the stock pipe to sit further back thus clearing the steering rod. The adapter won't cost you 150 bucks to make but atleast the custom turbo downpipe is hassle free.
