Yeah he told me he was at your place. I dont plan to use the down pipe unless I integrate it like gbodys. Im going to wait for gbodys pipe to get here and use that. I scored a HA ta-49 from him also a few weeks ago.

I am no expert . . . But here is my logic on the elbow.

The elbow is a restriction, but not as bad it may appear. Here is my reasoning for the statement . . . The stock elbow (which i'm sure was modified) has gone 125mph in TSA.
Based on that, one could deduce that there are many other things on a HA that restrict performance before you get to the elbow.

At what mass flow it truly becomes a restriction . . . Well, that's the $1M question.

No doubt about that!

Years ago, it was a bigger issue because converter tech did not catch up. Just going from stock to a mandrel dp with elbow is huge. Just saying . . .

Eliminating the turbo elbow makes a noticeable difference. A two inch elbow has the same effect as the whole exhaust system being two inch.

Can you take a better picture of that down pipe? As Jerryl said, many have busted 125 mph+ with elbow. TTYPE85 ran over 121 with a ported elbow and a ATR 2 1/2 down pipe. Until a better down pipe becomes readily available, this is the current best choice...

Rudedawg maybe we need to get together then fortunally my friend owens a machine shop.If he had a pipe to go off of and some pre bent tube.he will make it.ofcourse eliminating the elbow.t
The 3in pipe I made works but dosent look to greatI'm changing up everything to ss.I really wanted brians dp to go with the rjc 3in to crossflow set up ss.but not looking like that will happen in a timely manner.I got some time tho .my block still isn't back from shop and then the pistons are gonna take 3 to 4 weeks to make.So my car is pretty much sunk all summer.Were do you live at ?
