4" downpipe vs. K-member clearance..
does anyone have a UMI k member? we have one on my buddies car and we tried to mock up a 3 1/2 inching pipe and the only size pipeing that will fit is a 3'!!! what k member are you guys using for the 4' downpipeing?? also how does the 4' DP fit with the starter being there? most of the picture s i have seen are with no starter!!

Those of you that have center mount turbos......how are you supporting the dead weight?

I don't see why the K-member company's don't make a DP conversion mount! Hint, Hint!!

I noticed their site gives several options for mounts and what not. If I were to go with a PA....What options should I select? I will be using some solid mounts too BTW.

Finished a prototype mount tonight which couldn't have worked out any better. I also plan on TIG'ing on a hanger bracket to support the 4" pipe on the final one.
I am waiting for some moly plate to show up for the final mount and then send it to the powder coater so it matches the K-member.
On to the next issue!

It's Steve SPOHN's piece!
I have had a few people inquire about this mount but want to wait until I'm "piped" past it before I produce another one. Just in case I want to add some more features to it! LOL!

My buddy has the UMI k member,and to fit a 4" downpipe they had to modify the k-member.
