Unless you buy it in a kit with the turbo and manifold, then chances are it has to be made.

Yep. It's gonna be a Do It Yourself kinda thing.

Just hit up google, or a 'Turbo Oriented' site. You should be able to find the flange, and piping required. Hope you can weld, or know someone that can, though. Good excuse to go buy a 110v MIG to play with.

RRE has all the flanges you'll need and the piping as well.

Not to make it worse, but this is exactly why Im going with the JGS kit. lol

I dont have access to a welder, nor know how too, nor want to spend the extra money and hassle of having to have the car towed, etc.

This is excluding the fact that I don't have a garage -_-

One thing that kinda annoyed me about RRE, their exhaust flanges are a freaken half inch thick. They are monsterous, i dont know why on earth they dont cut it out of thinner stock but, w/e lol. Makes welding them up fun!

Still a great website tho.

You might be able to even go to an exhaust shop and have them do it for you if you aren't comfortable welding.

not to burst your bubble or anything but if you have an ebay manifold, it's kinda tricky..I love to weld but I don't have a full on shop to bend pipes or have a lot of ss pipes laying around. So I took my car on a trailor to the local exhaust shop and they did it for me. They did an awesome job-the dp snakes around the steering shaft (pretty slick) and was full 3in ss with tiny tig welds..costed me 150 and it is worth every penny imo.

The JGS kit would've been way more than i spent but less of a headache for sure
