I have all the flanges machined, flares and bosses ready. I've trial fitted it to mine, and it's spot on to what I made before and fitted perfectly, so once I know it fits without subframe mods. I can get the pipes ordered and welded up over the next couple of weeks.

that looks really good matt. is it worth offering a flexible bit on the end ? I have been looking into it, if the 2.25" pipe works I'll see if its possible to squeeze a flexi in there too. It'll be more like 65mm where the flexi is so it might have to go behind the gear linkage. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Either where the DP comes over where the block and gearbox meet pointing towards the flywheel housing or as the elbow bends around (should clear the steady) for the lambda.

I can get the boss welded on tomorrow evening, either location should fit fine. I'll offer it up on my engine and see the best place to clear the steady. I have mine on the elbow and from memory there's plenty of room all around.

Here's the finished downpipe with lambda boss and reducer to fit either 2" or 1 3/4" centre section.

Hi Matty,
On 24th Mar, 2014 matty said:
Nick, the downpipes are £150. The first one is now complete, apart from finding out if where Hazpalmer wants his lambda boss. Due to many people using different size centre sections I can supply them with either a reducer to 2" or 1 3/4" which will be welded onto the downpipe ready for a clamp joint to centre section. Pics...to follow when my photobucket starts working! As I can't work out how to do IMG codes on my iPad I've just attached them. Lol What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

If its 1 7/8 ID then it's most likely going to be near as damn 2" OD. The reducer on my downpipes are made to slide over the centre section. So it'll be best to measure the OD of your centre section, just so there is no confusion. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
