Can anyone tell by looking at the flange degree say whether this pipe was intended for an SR or CA outlet pipe?

I bought this over the winter and thought I purchased an SR downpipe to match an SR20 outlet pipe, but they conflict. I'm using SSAC manifold, big t25g, and the sr20 outlet pipe, but when mated, the downpipe veers out under the driver side door missing the rest of the exhaust.

Thanks for any help.

if you have an SR20 O2 housing, and this doesn't work (goes under the trans when bolted up) its a CA downpipe :D

Goes the other way... comes out under the driver door.

From what I've been reading.. if you are using CA o2 housing and SR down pipe it goes under the transmission. But if you are using SR o2 pipe and CA down pipe it goes under the drivers door.

I found an old picture on my comp comparing stock CA o2 pipe and an aftermarket CA o2 pipe.... after eyeing it for a few, I think I have a CA down pipe.

too me..the aftermarket O2 housing in the pic kinda looks like a SR20 one, but it might just be the angles. but that downpipe definately looks like a CA one to me.

The angle is throwing it off, both o2 pipes are CA's.I'm not using any of the o2 pipes in the above picture, nor do I have them to try on the pipe.

I'm this SR outlet pipe



Thanks for your help Zack.. I'm with you on it being a CA pipe
