---Downpipe w/flex tube location problem-- where is yours at?
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 9:01 PM
ok so long story short. the flex pipe has an exhaust leak in it. the location is right before the base of the firewall. i believe it might have rubbed on the firewall for sometime.

so my question is, would it be wise to move the new flex pipe right at the base of the firewall or is that too far?

i had to use a 1" spacer when i went with the 20g upgrade from hahn. (moved it futher back from lines due to heat) and due to that, it hits the firewall.

and what size is your dp?

Mine is 2.5" and is set up almost exactly like Philio's. Been that way for about a year now and haven't had any problems with that.

Sorry John, couldn't get the car on the lift this past weekend. It looks just like Philio's though, just 3". I did the same thing as him as far as what I ordered too. The guys said there was plenty of room for the 3" bends I bought. If your guys are experienced welders it should be no problem. I did use the O2 housing that hahn sent with the kit because it was going to be tuff trying to get around the air conditioner piping by the firewall with that 20g spaced out. Let me know if I can be anymore help. I will get some shots, I just don't know how soon I can get them.
