Default Please help me find a downpipe for a 1989 Turbo T/a

Needs to be 3". Most places im turning too are telling me to get one customized. I was looking for one like the APR downpipe that is no longer made. Any help/tips/links would really be appreciated. The G/n pipe will not work either.

Check out kirban performance, cottons performance and jaysgn.com. There are other places that offer turbo 6 stuff. Just check out gnttype.org and make one of the drop down boxes drop down and look for vendors index and click on it and all the vendors will list in alphabetical order.

Check out all of the turbo buick boards in the classifieds section, in fact Turbobuick.com has a Turbo TA section. I do know that a few companies were making them. If you find one in the classifieds jump on it, stuff moves fast in the classifieds over there.

Here's one I just built for a friend. 3.5" OVAL 304 stainless. Not for the timid, though. It took me over 25 hours to make it all work/fit. Those cars are soooo tight. Not much room to make things fit. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/gen...-finished.html

I also used 3.5" oval aluminum intercooler plumbing, too. I used a Precision Front mount for a GN. Takes a fair bit of time to make just one bend in oval.
