"Stress relief"..

[Chuck Leeper]

And you thot it would be something else, right??
Here's a pic of my install of a 3" cat "test pipe", using a 3" by 4" long flex coupling to take some load off of the turbo and downpipe. It allows for minor misalignment w/ the dp.
If you do this, BE SURE to get the flex w/ the ss inner, "flex pipe liner!
The dp/pipe connection is a wrap clamp from Summit.

Thanks! I have it installed. I'll post a pic of that tomorrow.
That's a Vibrant part from E bag. About $56.00/free shipping. The clamp was $8/Summit.

I had a problem with the crossover on my s2 engine. I used a flex coupling like that. Solved the issue. Nice work!

Not likely be much help.
However, 1 in the x over, and cutting the flanges between cyls might help.

All my buddies said that when i was assembling them- till they saw how useful they were, now they want to borrow them hahaha
