    Default ::V-Band Downpipe Pics::

    So after two sets of flanges and clamps, I think I got it right. I Bought the 2.5" 4-Bolt to 3" V-band adapter from HimNi Racing, and strapped it to my 16g.




    I bought a OBX 3" inch Civic V-Band downpipe, but the two flanges didnt match up...




    I tried to tighten the clamp down as tight as possible, but the seal wasn't a seal at all. So, I hoped on the internet (budget EBAY build FTW), bought a whole new set off flanges and a clamp.

    When the flange came in, I test fitted it, and it was perfect! :boobies: The next day I called the exhaust shop and got the new flange welded on the downpipe.

    I     torqued down the turbo and wastgeate, and fastened the downpipe...



    Weld work done by Paul at Paul's Custom Exhaust.





    ...And with the flick of a wrist...







    Everything seals flushly ans snugly, and it's a beauty to look at.

    Thanks. I'm pullin my blown D15B7 out, and hopefully i'll have the fresh new D16Y7 in within the next few days. After that, my main concern is going to be tuning.
