Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 04-11-2013

Does anyone know what angle this is? I thought it would be a 45 but when i looked it looks like its a bit steeper than that?


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Piggy - 04-11-2013

think its 60degrees


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 04-11-2013

60 is what im thinking, i swear i read it somewhere just dont want to buy it for it to be wrong Sad


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Piggy - 04-11-2013

Im sure thats what I bought...

search around there is a thread somewhere on all the lengths/angles needed to make a system...its what I used.

Around 60 iirc, you can make it right by cutting pipe at slight angle, yes, this is a "bodge" but it really dosnt matter / for a few degrees isnt even noticable. Smile


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 04-11-2013

Some threads say 45 and some say 60 :/ Then some say you need a 60 at the back and others say 45! AAAHHH


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 07-11-2013

I think its 60, will know for sure soon!

what elbow have you got off your turbo tom?


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 07-11-2013

2.5" tight radius thing into a flexi.

Oh shit. So it's not a 45 afterall? What a fecking farce. That means my exhaust elbow was doomed from the start! Now I've got to work out 60 degrees which I have no idea how to do (45 degrees is more obvious) and this is why I thought it was 45 degrees:

He didn't have the decency to come back and tell the guy he was wrong! So other people find the thread (using the search function Rolleyes ) and then think it is right and go and do that just to find it's wrong.

Did you ever find out what angle was needed? Was it 60deg?


RE: Exhaust bend, downpipe into tunnel - Tom - 17-04-2014

Yes mate 60 is grand at the bottom of the downpipe Smile
