will a 3" downpipe fite the stock spipe

 

bump

 

Not w/o some sort of adapter I would imagine

 

why would you have a 3" dp to the stock s-pipe?

 

it comes with the kit....and i dont have the money so a new spipe

im looking at the dp and it looks as if the previous owner didnt use a donut gasket which is prob why it fit becaue the sock header uses the donut gasket that makes the pipe noe 3inches

 

not sure if it'll fit, i say your better off going open-dump, what kit is it?

 

its a zpi sage 1...but i have a 5lb spring so itll be a stage o with intercooler....and i have no prob running open downpipe lol...i mean after a while i might get a spipe or something to quiet it down so i dont get pulled over

 

i'd recommend either getting a turbo-back exhaust either ptuning or a custom one, i'm getting a custom one done because it's going to be cheaper for me

5lb spring as far as wastegate you mean? honestly, if its stage 0 with low psi then you really don't need a 3" dp...

 

^^ thats what he have lol, 3" wouldnt hurt.. im not so familiar with stage 0 zpi, but if stage 0 zpi dont come with spipe, then it should fit the stock spipe, but what flange does your downpipe have?

 

its a 4bolt to the turbo i think....but the flange for the spipe is the normal 2 bolt

 

ZPI kits did not come with a 3 inch downpipe, so the previous owner must have had one made.

 

yea travis he made this stage 1 kit him self i notgiced this when the 16g was clocked downwards and the intercooler piping was routed different insted of jpiped...and it had a open dump didnt think zpi ran open dump....all in all i think the 3inch will fit if i dont use a gasket

 

ZPI ran an Open dump as in wastegate, but now open Downpipe. Hell I might do that myself until I get a new s-pipe. My Downpipe and S-pipe were built as one. Less chance for a leak between turbo and exhaust, but makes it more difficult to work around.

 

i kinda need emmisions some day

ill run it open downpipe for a bit

 

Blah...who needs emissions...ehehee

 

lol yea emissions... who needs those lil stickers..

 

You get stickers? I'm jealous! We don't get stickers.

 

haha no we dont get stickers but some do thats why i said it

 

3" on a 16g is over kill... You'll have to thermowrap 3/4's of the exhaust pipe to keep the egt up enough to maintain flow...

But in the area of nice sound, and hearing a lot of turbo spooling, the 3" does come in handy.

 

a custom exhaust, 3inch from downpipe back should run you about 500, i'd so try that out
