Default Phamspeed - Flatten pipe

I need to get a flatten pipe to modify my phamspeed kit, I am about to eat through the pipe under the k-member and i need to fix it before that happens.
Where can I obtain a flatten pipe the bigger the better to help with the exhaust, or maybe like a rectangular pipe.......thanks

Several companies sell oval tubing. I believe that Borla sells it. You should look at trying to run the exhaust above the k-member if possible.

sandwich it between two 2x4's and put it in a press, knock it down with a dead blow, or run it over with a car.

Jerik are you at stock ride height? I've got the same kit on my car but it hasn't been driven yet and I'm lowered. It's down for the winter so I planned on putting it back to stock ride height as I finish the build and thought it would be ok. I'm seriously contemplating about selling it and going with the truck manifolds. Here's a pic of my clearence lowered and one that would simulate stock ride height. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as you and it just won't be enough.

Progress is coming very slow. I put it away too soon this year to start the turbo build. I have very few parts left to get it running but I've also been unemployed for a few months now and can't seem to find anything in my field. A few months of being unemployed can really eat away at ones bank account. I'm actually debating of selling the heads (317's) and the turbo for now to try to make ends meat and buy some christmas presents. Hopefully I can still hang onto the kit and make it a running kit by spring. If not, it's up for sale too. It sucks because I'm soo damn close to getting it running. Radiator, fans, injectors, pump and tune is all I need.

By the way, this is a great kit in terms of quality. Fit_N_Finish is excellent. The only problem with this kit is ground clearence. This shouldn't be too much of a problem with stock ride height on good roads. If your are lowered, don't even consider it. By the looks of the kit and it's design, it seems to be the most free flowing kit out there but clearence is it's downfall. I've thought of Dr gas for oval piping too. Someone else offers it a little cheaper, can't remember. I'll look into it and post if I find it.
