New down pipe.

For all general things Calibra related

New down pipe.

by Mark1 » Fri Oct 25, 2013 9:51 am

Went in to get some rubber mounts for the exhaust as it was rubbing as came of the drive only to find I need a new down pipe. To be fair over the last 5 years the car ahs only cost the price of a service each year.

are you just putting an original one on or are you going stainless?

I would like the stainless but funds don't go that far.

New down pipe.

I've heard some scary stories about the cheaper ones not fitting.
Having said that I tried to buy some Friedrich Motorsport Tubular Manifolds and downpipes from LMF but they cancelled my order because they have had problems with fitting and a lot of returns???

Well it's all fitted now, guy said it was Vauxhall one that came off. Only problem was the lambo was rusted in, so need to get a new one.

I did look at getting the manifolds and down pipe made by Longlife but at £650 it was just to much.
