Hello all, I am looking to get a downpipe made for my car. I need a 3.5 inch for an external gate. My car has air conditioning and genuine TA Performance headers. I would prefer to be able to have it made without having the car there as the car is not currently running. The pipe must be made in the USA. I want top quality and don't mind paying for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Anyone know where to get a downpipe made?

Yeah, I've heard great things about Jack. I have been trying to get him to build me one for about the last 6 months, but he stays so busy that he has been unable to get to it. I am just trying to see if there is anyone else that can do it. I am picking up my car this weekend and was hoping to have all the parts ready to put it back together soon. I have been without the car for almost a year and am dying to get it running. Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming.

TA headers... how about a TA dp?? Maybe call them, and ask about it....
I'll give them a call. I didn't see on their website that they made custom downpipes, but it is worth a shot.

I can, and WILL, build you a real trick down pipe, even using oval tubing, if you want REAL cool. And the best part is, I am only all the way across the country from you! How much more convienient is THAT?
:biggrin: I would NEED the car to make it fit perfectly, though. Just a train/truck ride away!

Although it is tempting, the car is at Bigwood Racing getting a downpipe made. I only hope that their quality is able to compare to that.

Cotton's made the 3.5 down pipe with the external gate that is on our car. He modified my cross over pipe, and plumbed the gate into the down pipe. I am very happy with it. It fits greats. I believe the pipe will be worth the wait, I would encourage you to be patient.
I could not be happier with mine.

I know that Cottons does top notch work and wanted them to do the job. I have been waiting for Cottons to get to it for the last few months. Now I have the car back and am ready to get it running after a year of being without it. Bigwood racing seems more than capable of doing the job. Some of the cars that they had there made mine look like junk.
I had a similar experience waiting on Jack to get work done on my car years back and had to have it removed. 
I think when you have a Nationally recognized name building a downpipe I'm sure you will be more than happy with Bigwoods workmanship. They built a bad azz tube chassis car so building a pipe is something they can do in their sleep.
Can't wait for some pics.
