so here's what i've got http://www.xs-power.com/produc...a.jpg

i need a friggin downpipe, I've emailed xspower a few weeks ago and still nothing. there's gotta be downpipes for this manifold somewhere, but I can't find them. I still need a elbow (turbine adapter elbow thing) for my t3/t4 and the 2 sites i just looked at doesn't even offer them.. wth!?

ugh if anyone knows something about anything, please tell me, i'd really rather not take my car to the muffler shop and have them fab up a crush-bent piece of fence post for a downpipe

Its gotta be custom made. You dont need an elbow really, just a downpipe.

Not sure about the top mount, but i just bought a bottom mount kit an it came with everything i need. My buddy bought the kit for me, he calls a guy on the phone. Ill have him give that guy a call and ask about the top mount.

Do what most others do man. Just get a flange and get a custom downpipe made. That's what i did with my top mount manifold basically identical to that one. Careful though mine sat pretty close to my bmc. Never gave me any issues though i used a license plate as a heat shield haha....

I actually did just that the other day and their, less than coherent, response was, "Sorry,no separately for sales."

Bummer, as far as I've seen, no one makes a pre-fabed down pipe or intercooler piping kit for the top mount T3/T4 set-up, which is pretty stupid IMO since so many people have them now.

jgs is probally the only one that makes a downpipe for their top mounts. but you also need an sr20 dp to connect to it.
