Did you ask BR? Their turbo kit DP's are VBand flanged where they meet with the turbo, I'm sure they could VBand both sides if you asked.

I called and talked with them about 5 mins ago. They offer a V-Band turbo back, but not just a V-Band down pipe. I don't need a new complete exhuast. I already have a 3" turbo back. I just need the V-band downpipe part of the exhaust to go onto a new twinscroll hotside. That was my first call.

Anymore ideas?

I'd hate to have to buy a whole new turbo back just to get the down pipe.

Maybe I should give them a call back. Maybe there was a misunderstanding of what I wanted.

You need a dp that connects with a v-band at the hotside not at the cat/tp location, correct?

Buschurs v-band still bolts to the stock hotside as usual and uses v-band to attach the test pipe and so on so thats probably why they wont.

I would say your option is custom....Get the vband clamps from Burnes stainless http://www.burnsstainless.com/Hardwa...ps/clamps.html and make your current dp work.

V-Band clamp


Flex Section
