I got a greddy t4 manifold and getting a precision 6266 turbo. Where can i get a downpipe that would fit? or do i need to get a custom made one? I seen a few for sale but i aint sure if its a different length downpipe depending on what turbo.

 

cheers

I think most people would just buy a vband downpipe to match the exhaust of the turbo and then adapt it as required (if necessary). Making one from scratch would be costly, adapting one would be a lot cheaper. You might even get lucky and find that the downpipe is actually OK.

 

Did greddy ever do a full kit for the MKiv? I'm guessing that the DP to match the manifold would be what you are looking for.

did i read correct that a downpipe would cost somthing about 700$? i really cant understand how people are willing to pay this much. i built my last downpipe and that costed me about 30£

 

i bought somthing like this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-V-Band-Kit-Heavy-Duty-Clamp-Flange-Exhaust-Downpipe-Turbo-Intercooler-Pipe-/320783099584?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab029a6c0

 

and 2 universal exhaust pipes for peanuts.

i was not stainless but who cares anyway. (stainless weight more ;) )

I aint spending $700 on a downpipe! i am going to buy a xs power GT45 v band downpipe and modify that to fit my turbo or get an exhaust specialist to make me one.

I completely agree that downpipes etc are way overpriced. I m running an xs-power manifold, xs-power intercooler with a custom made downpipe for the last 3 years putting down 550whp on a Precision T61 and I have no problems whatsoever. However, I dont ever skimp on moving parts like turbo's etc.
