stock elbow bore service?

[ilikebigbutts]

i sarched but didn't find anything...is there anywhere i can send my stock elbow to get it bored out to 3"?i really just want a full 3" cat back but i think the price of a new 3" elbow is rediculous IMO.also i'm broke:icon_bigg

honestly i wouldnt think it would be worth it, the power increase thereafter would be minimal at best... you'll need a 3inch cat anyway and downpipe...

if you are going to do the exhaust cheap dont just punch a hole in your cat either, sell it for 50 bucks (the going rate of good cats anywhere) have an exhaust shop weld on a new pipe for 15 bucks

well i already have a 3" elbow back (got rid of the first cat0 and i'm having my buddy make me a 3" test pipe to get rid of teh other cat to.then teh elbow would be the only bottle neck.

get two flages, a 3 inch bend, o2 bung, and make it yourself?? If your friend can make a test pipe im sure he can do this for cheap as well. In the time it takes to port that thing i dont think the gains would be worth it.

^^^will look into that but i've never seen an 02 flange?

Go to Autozone, buy the $20 Bosch O2 sensor for an N/A Supra, and unscrew the flange from the O2 sensor itself.

At least, that's what I did

buy the one from suprasport. way better option than boring out your elbow.

 

[ilikebigbutts]

way to expensive

:icon_bigg please don't waste your time and money on that stock elbow ! The shop will charge you about $60.-$70. and all they can do is 2.5" anyway .No one can make stock elbow full 3." Suprasport elbow is the best elbow ,but if you can not afford it you can get 3" ss on ebay for $125. shipped , i've seen it some time on ebay. i sold my well ported stock elbow and bought that one.
