I wanna upgrade the exhaust of my 95' 240sx but when I look for headers and the cat back/exhaust system I notice that they don't come with the elbow pipe that connects the headers with the cat back (the one I have is broken) If some one could give me some pointers of where to look for one or what to buy to have all the exhaust system replaced it would be really appreciated. thanks!

I've seen downpipes but they state that they're for Turbo applications only, would those work for what I want to do?

a turbo dp won't work. dc sports sells a header that includes that dp section, but be aware that it will eliminate the real, functioning catalytic converter.

Your headers run down to your cat and your cat connects to the exhaust.

I don't know what other pipe your are talking about.

The one you suggested for DC sports it shows that is from 91-94 application but it is for the ka24de would it fit on the 95 model or it has to be specifically for the 95 application?

i think thats '96 and up...95's are still obd1...he should be able to use any s14 ka24de header, if he has an extra out for an extra o2 he can plug it up or weld it shut.do yourself a favo and find a good well made header, dc is a well made product. do the same for the cat-back...you can buy stainless on ebay but you cant count on fitment and they usually hang lower than the good stuff. and its easy to scrap a huge a** hole in your pipe in a few days.
