ive purchased one through them and it didnt even bolt on my stock turbos/dump pipes properly and i sent it back and he said that there jig is right and i have aftermarket turbos and its impossible cause they have the stock trim turbos and the dump pipes are oem and they still have the stock heat shields on them, my rb26 came with the stock down pipe and cat when i bought this motor. Mckinney didnt even offer to fix it they just gave me a full refund wich does not help me at all cause now im in need of a down pipe still and my swap is almost done and i have to be able to tune with my wide band and exhaust bolted on. im just wondering does any one actuallly have this down pipe on there running rb26 swaped s14/13? if so can you post pics of it?

true, but it ifs a relatively simple fix then its not a huge problem. even if you used a skyline x-member your still looking at a custom dp

We took the pipe back and test fit it on the jig and a car here with the R32 RB26dett in it and the pipe fits fine??? He supplied pictures to us so we know it did not fit his car. What we do not know is the combo of turbo elbow(s) and years are on his motor. I can not build a pipe from pictures. I would love to sell him a pipe if I know how and what parts combo are on his motor. If your were close you could build you a pipe, just for your car.. ..Sorry Mack If you want to talk we will be back from D1 event on Monday . 951-304-9300
