Downpipes different for Automatics?
I am trying to install a DP on a 94 auto and having trouble with interference from the automatic transission. Does anyone know if the downpipes are the same for the auto and the manual cars?
Has anyone done this on an auto? I seached but couldn't find anything specific.

I had the Megan Racing DP which is considered one of the less easy to install DP's and it had no problems with my AT and no problems once I swapped to MT either.

I'm going back under to try it again, but I am not encourged by the person who had to remove a motor mount on one side to get it in. Might just be a poorly made pipe. Does anyone think jacking the car on one side would twist the tranny to one side?

I believe none of the Japanese FD's had a precat. But, the stock downpipe is big, cast iron, and restrictive - almost as bad as our precat .
Any right hand drive FD needs a downpipe from Japan - an American-built downpipe won't clear the steering column.
