I'm currently working on a gt17 downpipe to work with my manifolds and wondering who would be interested in one? I'm still looking at ways of doing them, one option is to modify a standard saab downpipe, but I'm now considering making them from scratch out of stainless as it may be just as easy, but will require a fair amount tooling to making some of the parts.

As I'm sure you know Matty, the GT17 outlet is 2.25inch pipe. I use a short flanged length then reduce before the join to 2".

I personally think solid would be fine, looking at most widebands they recommend placement be some distance from the turbo, however we never had an issue in the elbow on the van. If making from scratch I would be inclined to place the sensor somewhere near the standard gear selector (Andy pointed out to me then you can run the wiring in through the reverse light bung). I would also say most applications use a 2" exhaust system (this will also give you enough room to get past the pot joint I guess) If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I would be interested depending on time scale, im running a play mini system which connects over a standard LCB so would assume 2".
What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

Would have had one a year ago mine cost over £400 to have custom made although is excellent quality by a very reputable fab shop in Derbyshire.

I managed to get out in the workshop today, and made a jig from my downpipe.

Would 2 1/4" just sleeve straight onto a 2" exhaust? I'd be interested whether it be stainless or a modified Saab item If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Ovaling the pipe could work quite well, but if its not needed, even better. lol

John has loaned me a Saab exhaust and when I looked at it, I came to the conclusion that i haven't got the skills to make it work and be a tidy install.
