I'm assuming that most of the single turbo 2j and 1jz cars out there have custom downpipes (unless there is a mass produced version out there that I don't know about). How much did it run you?
Single turbo guy, how much did you pay for your downpipe?

I have a greddy t78 kit. Bought it used, its a greddy mani, turbo, and dp but the dp dont fit. :icon_conf
Most downpipes are different due to turbo sizes and manifolds. either buy a 3" dp and have an exhaust shop mod it to fit, or have one fully custom made.
Just dont buy a 3" dp for stock twins, or else the pipe will end pretty much were your turbo mounts and half of it will need to be chopped off.

I made my own. It cost me about 120$ for mild steel down pipe with v-band clamps from Summitt and from ATP Turbos.
i bought my turbo and downpipe from a friend. i just hacked parts of the downpipe and had it welded to my cat flange. it only cost me 100 bucks for everything.
^I did the same thing. I'm not sure how much it cost me because some parts I used came with my ebay manifold.
how does the chinaman downpipe work? is it a direct fit into the MK3 body w/out any issues? what is the diameter of the downpipe?
Yes its a direct fit no issues i could take a picture of it in my supra when i have some time 85$ is a lot better then 2-300 for a mild steel one. its a 3" dp with V band clamp i got the one with the flex tubbing on it.
Lin's downpipe fits most MK3/MK4/SC's.
Unfortunatly at the time I installed my turbo, i didn't have the time to wait for shipping.
I made mine with two 3" mandrel bends and vband flanges i got locally. I made the 2 bolt O2 flange by sawing it off an old o2 sensor and welding in studs. Costed me about $90.
I'll be ordering a Lin downpipe soon, mine is a hackjob. I was drunk and overheated the vband weld on the turbo and warped it a hair causing an exhaust leak.

for the price of Lin's manifold in stainless steel. Even if you have to modify it, it's still cheaper then making one from scratch in SS.
yea so is his manifold pretty good quality? how long does it take to get the manifold from him? does he have any bigger dps?
We have the downpipes for $150 shipped.
You will probably want to cut/modify the bottom for better ground clearance.
When you buy a manifold/downpipe/turbo package the price gets better of course.

It fits perfect here is pictures of it installed with no modifications. clears perfect and 3" is all you need you dont need more then 3" unless you pass 800hp

I just made my own downpipe yesterday for my car. 3" v-band flange, and 3" u pipe, $65cad.
Then I pissed off my neighboours running around with an open downpipe, and GT40-88 with no intake
