    they were made to fit the t2 exhaust housing, however i sent him my housing as it had a differnet stud pattern so he made me one up to suit.

    Straight fit to 4 bolt T2 and T25. So, standard GTT turbo and most of the T25 upgrades including Tomcat and 200SX turbo.

    Price was somewhere around 150-160 quids if I remember correctly.

    Yeah. Protoxide is way too expensive. Wouldn't buy anything directly from them including my exhaust manifold...

    I used to make the 2 1/2" downpipes Mike Spencer sold, I've still got the jigs, so if enough people want one I could knock a few up. No pics though.

    Might well be interested Jim if there a bit cheaper than others mentioned, cant justify over £100 on a pipe these days.

    I'd be interested, will they be one piece and have a bung in them?

    Re: down pipe.

    What? Modify this or new one for GTT? I say that anything near BMS quality would be waaay more.

    You cannot compare 200SX and GTT. There is a lot more this Nissans around and most of the owners buy it to modify it. Look at the price of shocks, springs, shortshifters, brakes, calipers...

    Re: down pipe.

    Ok so the GTT would be slightly longer. I guess it depends on what its made of, how long it takes to make and where it's made that will see the price go up.

    It was just a loose comparison.

    Re: down pipe.

    I got you now. But I think that price is mostly determined on pieces made and on offer/demand bias. It is normal that 20 DP made only by Boris' hand cost more than 2000 made by machine or 30 workers in Japan, China or States. At my place I can have tuned Golf MKI, MKII and MKIII at same time, for same sum of money but I choose GTT

    Re: down pipe.

    It's all down to scale. If there's enough demand that you can get someone interested in bending the pipework in one piece and cnc-ing the flanges then £100 is do-able. If you're only making 10 or so then it's going to be more like £150, or it's just not worth doing.

    Re: down pipe.

    Hi,

    hope this is the right thread.
    I'm thinking of buying a one piece down pipe.
    I have seen in the club shop that Big Jim downpipe is available.
    Does it worth channging the original for such a pipe?
    What is the diameter of this downpipe?

    Thank you all your help!

    Re: down pipe.

    I think the diameter is 2 1/2 inches OD. Wider at the upper flange.

    Thanks mate!

    Than the rest of standard exhaust won't fit, will it? The pipes are std. till the back box.
    So that should be the beginning of a new exhaust system.
    What are you guys recommend?
