help with downpipe!

[garetheves]

Just recently bought a Meganracing de-cat downpipe and tried to have it fitted today. Was assured it would fit my car (and to be fair the guy has offered a refund) but found out today that it wouldnt. Its a little hard to explain without a picture but ill explain:

Coming from back of car to engine the old pipe goes to the top cat then bends slightly to the left and then right so that the flat "face" of it (couldnt think of right term) is pointing slightly right as it attches to the turbo. Now the new one, cos it misses out the cat, doesnt have this "kink" in it and so is completely straight, with a slight left facing end. Obviously it wont therefore attach to the turbo.

Im assuming it is because mine is a J-spec and the DP was made for UK/USA but was assured it would still fit.

Has anyone else had a similar problem or can suggest something to correct this. If not can someone suggest where to get a J-spec decat 3" downpipe as soon as possible cos mines blowing like nothing else.

 

Cheers for the help, the description may not make any sense (im a complete novice when it comes to engines im afraid) but can draw a picture if it helps.

The two are different & can't be adjusted to fit.

 

You need a proper J-spec decat.

 

We keep these in stock (3") should you need one ASAP
