Dump To Front Pipe Woes.

[bluboy]

Hey guys, hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

I was going through the process of installing my new split dump pipe today, mounting to the Turbo was no problem and the bottom flange bolts lined up okay but the angle of the front pipe flange does not match the dump pipe flange.

So as a temporary fix, I pulled the flange together as best as I could using the mounting bolts and filled the gap with maniseal, but now there is a lot of pressure on my dump pipe and turbo and I think the exhaust is vibrating on the tunnel or gearbox?

Could any exhaust place modify the front flange angle to fit? Or will I need some type of flexible pipe with flange to get it?

Any help would be great thanks.

Any exhaust shop should be able to cut the flange off and re weld it at the angle you need, pretty simple fix

Yeah thought as much, but I was thinking, would a flexi pipe close to the flange be the go? Just incase I want to mount the stock dump back on?

lose the split dump, they are a problem. JJR bellmouth dump + front pipe, single piece straight to the cat. i was impressed with the build and weld quality for a chinese dump.
