obx ramhorn downpipe help

[DKRM]

As the title states, I need help. I have a obx ramhorn manifold with a holset hy35 on it and I need a downpipe made up. only problem is the room between the crossmember and the turbo. I was hopeing some of you guys with the same manifold could post up some pics and/or tell me how they got a downpipe to fit, Much appreciated. I cant wait to get an exhaust on this thing. thanks

I have looked through aleks77's mrt and the only picture I saw that had the down pipe in it was a top view. Its hard to make out how its bends to get around the front engine mount on the subframe and around the oil pan, also What do you mean by bypass it??

[cb7_with_snail]

U can take off the front motor mount with out hurting ur other mounts or motor. It will just kick a little more. If u don't like the kick go to a bicycling shop and buy a....man I can't remember what their called...a little dampener...and mod that bad boy on. Ull be fine.

I already have removed the front motor mount, But the part im talking about is where the motor mount attaches to the subframe of the car

Look at my down pipe. you may have to search but there should be plenty of pictures. My setups a little different but its similar enough to get ideas from.

[DKRM]

dbsharp what size pipe did you use to go between the oil pan and the sub frame? I found a couple pictures of yours and I kinda have an idea now

That esp traction bar kit sure frees up a bunch of room, If Only I had another 450 bucks that I could throw at the car right now. Anyone wanna buy an obx lsd haha 400 brand new, lol

[DKRM]

I contacted esp and unfortunately it will take 3-4 weeks to make me a traction bar. I really dont want to wait that long haha. Im going to try and fab up a part like dbsharps tomorrow and Ill post up some pics when Im done

They are well worth it. When I had mine on, the quality of the part was second to none. There's a lot of important things which rely on the traction bar holding up to abuse and time, ESP makes theirs to withstand both.

Granted they kinda suck if your on a schedule, and their communication can be lacking at times. But when they deliver it's glorious! Just don't get an E-bay knock off. It would really suck if the bar broke and your wheels broke off the car.

ya Not getting ebay lol, I Think Ill just hold out and order one over the winter, Maybe as for the downpipe, My welder broke so waiting on the replacement part then the fab work begins
