I noticed but I don't think they will fit our cars.

Looks a whole hell of alot like BabyBlues' set-up. I'd bet they fit or come close. However, the price is way out of line. I've priced custom turbo manifolds and downpipe from a local Good welding shop and they said somewhere around 700. The auction is for 950 buy it now and 850 bid.

Matt Maas makes those. He know's his stuff. No way I'd pay that much for them since I really don't care what mine look like, but if you want a good set of turbo pipes that are perdy, buy those.

no theses aren't Matt pipes, have you ever see Maas pipes ? completly different, he uses stock logs. Yes they are the same as I have. I had to extend around 1 inch to the up pipre to clear the frame, and the downpipe was a b!tch to install.I had to mod the DP a lot. The X-member had to the be extremly dropped to get them to fit the DP (2.5"). and after that, if your car is lowered you'll hit the ground every 2 min. I know I do with 1.3"drop

but they are great qualitu pipes? Abe is a great guy to deal with too.

"test monkeys" didn't you read BBY Blues post, he has them and they don't fit very well. But them and spend more money to modify them to fit and then cry when you find out that a custom set would have cost half that. No offence Baby Blue you are a pioneer and I read your other post about needing them quickly and not wanting to have to find a GOOD place to make some custom for you.

Whatever happened to the whole Rear-mount Turbo idea?? Anyone ever try it?

solo_ryder · Post by **solo_ryder** » July 10th, 2005, 2:24 pm

Looks kinda funny to me, that is also alot of piping man, if osmeone has the cash they may want to try it but i am not to sure what the responce would be like.

A lot of pipe??? Have you ever looked at a bill peice by piece for like IC piping and Exhaust piping?? They charge you for the whole piece 10' piece even if they only use 2'. If I have a V6 KL-DE thats what I would do I think. To make room all you would have to do if go with a Racing gas tank and then put the turbo and everything right there. I think it would be awesome. You look under the hood and see nothing, you could even tell most ppl itis still 1.8L. That would be teh ultimate sleeper
