I'm going to make me a custom 5" Down pipe using RJC's kit but I was looking for some pictures of Buick's running 4 or 5" DP for ideas. Can anyone help with pictures or ideas?
 
No one? has anyone seen a 5" or bigger on our cars?

x2,ive seen similar results...
 
We've run 9.1's @148+ with a 3.5". If you want it for bling, go for it. If you think it'll make it faster, think again. I'm all for different, though.
 
It's for the WOW!! factor plus I have always hated the way our engine bays look so empty when the heaters deleted. I love how this down pipe fills in the gap.

That engine bay is absolutely a work of art!
 
Is this for a 3 bolt or 4 bolt turbo? If its for a 3 bolt, I can sell you the base that is attached to your turbo. You just have to weld a 5" flange to it, like the one pictured below, then with the matching flange welded on the downpipe....... The V-band ties it all in together.

Ask GNFANATIC, Ralph Pattaca...he has 1 installed. There's a thread on it...
 
I'll take some pics of mine thats installed. I think it's bad ass also, I have a 86 t-type with a 3.5' thdp, it cool too but the 5' on my GN gets a lot of attention! I also have a/c delete. I'll email them to you, I have to send them from my phone!

Thanks that would be cool
 
I've been 7.80's at 180+ with a 4" downpipe. lol. If a turbo has a 4" v-band on it then I run a 4" downpipe. Everything else gets a 3 or 3.5 TH style downpipe. It really is just for looks to run a 5".
