You may struggle to fit the downpipe as it is for a LHD US car. Ours have the steering linkage on that side, with the downpipes moulded around it!
That\'s what hammers are for!!

how do you know its for a us model??
Cos on RHD cars the downpipe is flattened out to clear the steering linkage. There\'s nothing wrong with the stock J-spec downpipe though, it\'s only the US and UK spec cars that have a pre-cat.

the stock downpipe is very restrictive ill just hav to heat and reshape it!:flamed
well yes did struggle abit need heat and a lump hammer but its on and i can feel the difference! the standard on got one hell of a kink in it goes very thin must restrict by a few bhp!
tock the car to silverstone yesterday to d1 and the pipe makes such a difference that you can feel to the point as i was on the phone to royston aka greg , to make some adjustments to the map! never thought it would do so much you really feel it when the second turbo spools up! good mod but as soon as the v-mount is on next hav full remap and feel the difference think thats the thing i really like about a rotary you can feel every mod!
