keep the downpipe, modify the exhaust.

it will cost more to buy a downpipe than to take it down to a muffler shop and have them weld you an extension...

i took it to a muffler place and the guy said he cant do it because the angle on the ex downpipe is to sharp, its facing the transmission.

i wouldnt recommend buying a premade downpipe because all turbo setups are different and based on your turbo and manifold you may need a custom donpipe or exhaust to fit it. i would recommend going to a performance shop because muffler shops weld like **** and they tend to leak and crack and then have them make you a downpipe that fits your exhaust...

just get an ex midpipe, and have it modified to fit the dx exhaust. It will bolt up to the ex downpipe, then cut it off, have the dx exhaust cut down to fit the ex midpipe.

problem solved.

acctualy i wouldnt even have to mod the dx exhaust, its the magnaflow catback that comes with a flange for the ex also.
but i dont really want to buy a midpipe when i can just get a downpipe. plus i dont want a cat.
