Mk4Gaz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Just make sure you make some form of brace, to help take the weight of the exhaust system, off the turbine housing. All that weight hanging off a vband flange, doesn't fill me with much confidence. I made a bracket to bolt the downpipe flange to my r154, to make it more rigid. I can now undo my vband clamp, and the downpipe stays where it should I made something similar that bolted to my old auto box, that I've recently removed Edited February 1, 2017 by Mk4Gaz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I thought all supras came with a brace bar (exhaust to gearbox) as standard anyway? Mine had one, and i also had one included with the R154 kit i bought Youre right though it certainly helps having one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
