RB25 Downpipe on s13 chassis

[Abdo]

What options do I have other than the McKinney Motorsports "RB25 TOUGE DOWN PIPE" ($240) and fabbing one up (ghetto)?

[pirate87]

mounts, manifold, turbo....etc...??

no two swaps have the exact same measurements, so it's hard to recommend a DP. personally, I'd have one welded up for your application, think of it as custom not ghetto.

check out the links in my sig, that is one option for you

thanks for your effort, but i'm not looking for the turbo exhaust elbow, i am looking for a downpipe that will connect from the elbow all the way to the cat.

what are your goals here? The stock down pipe will work depending on your mount setup. Mine hung down a little low so I just cut the flanges off shortened it to my liking and then welded them back on. Any muffler shop could do that for you. If you don't have the stock one you could probably get it pretty cheap from someone who upgraded to a 3 inch.

Now if what you are asking is what 3 inch options there are, I have only seen the one that Mckinney Motorsports and it is the one I am using. It fit, but I thought it set a little low as well, so I cut the flanges and rewelded them, because welding is fun.

Assuming you don't have anything and you would like a 3 inch, my advice would be to start talking to some local shops and see what they can build you and how much.

Good luck.

There's always the AM Performance downpipe/elbow. If you already got a elbow maybe you could sell it... cause the AM Performance pipe is the shiznit.

And despite what people will say, there have been NO COMPLAINTS about fitment, reguardless of mount setup. Do a search and you'll find pictures.

thanks man, any idea when there will be another group buy?

[madcowvert]

you need to email JerryRigRB240 and ask him to get you in contact with AMperformance..

[JerryRigRB240]

Yeah he already emailed me.

BTW since I sold so many pipes for AM Performance he's selling them at the group buy price through me- no group buy needed.

[madcowvert]

sweet deal.... i know this is a bit off topic but dose that down pipe connect to a s13 exhaust with tophat mounts?

thanks

jerry i think i'm finally ready to order but i will email you...

[JerryRigRB240]

I have tophat mounts on my RB20 S13 coupe, and the stock exhaust bolts right up to the downpipe. Also I've got about 1/4" of clearance between the downpipe and the steering shaft.

Ok maybe I didn't say it right?

Ebay price for the dp/elbow is $284 +70 shipping. The group buy price was $250 + 70 shipping. But since there was so much interest in the downpipe, and everyone had good fitment, AM Performance lets me hook people up from the forums with the group buy price on an individual basis. That means you can get a discount price without waiting for 9 other people to be ready to buy.
