Hey guys have any of you who have gone the 5SFTE route used anything besides the stock mr2 downpipe? If so anyone have any specs. Appreciate it a bunch guys.

Yea he does but he's running a T3/T4 turbo.

I guess i should be more specific with my question. Has anyone used another downpipe on the CT26 on a 5SFTE besides the stock one? Thanx

Yes, but it was custom made.

I made a flange that bolts onto the turbine housing out of 3/8" mild steel, welded a 2.5" pipe to it, then made the downpipe off of that.

thats exactly what i want to do. where did you get the flange? and do you have a general layout of the piping u used, i.e. what bends and what lengths? Thanx 88LE.

I made it. Used the elbow that bolts onto the turbine housing from a MKIII Supra Turbo as a template.

I used a few 180 degree (U shape) mandrel bent pipes, cut out the pieces, then welded it up.

I don't have any info on the angles, lengths, etc... Like I said the whole thing is custom made.
