Please someone throw me a bone. Got this bad boy started. The thickest pipe I can find here is 14 guage and I know that is real puny. I forsee that as being a puddle of pipe after a good hard run.

if i where you id just get the RB set up b/c its premade and it will stand up to the heat of the rotary. you spent all the time on the engine so dont cut corners on the exost.

That would be great if RB did a down pipe for a turbo setup. I allready have the rest of their setup. I am looking for a downpipe for a jdm 12at.

I'd go 1/8" thick mild steel. You can get a 4' section cheap from RB, cut it and weld it up.

ooh ooh i know this. i work at an exhaust shop. use 1/8 in which if they dont know what that is its equivilant to about 12 guage pipe or tube (if you know the difference) and you can buy them in u-bend, 90's and whatever degree you need at CLEARIMAGEAUTOMOTIVE.COM. just call and ask for Dan (the owner) and tell him what you need then ill bend it for you. we get a discount on it because we buy all the time so it should be comparable to any place online. and if not then tell Dan that you want him to price match it. and if it helps tell him you know me (kyle). peayce out
