Im referring to the exhaust downpipe plate. the bit that goes on your turbo that your 90degree exhaust bend will be welded onto th point down the tunnel.
Heh, that is the trouble, I can't afford a welder right now, I am tryna do this project on the cheap! It is already looking like it is gonna cost half of what I paid for the car!

and as the guys who came round few weeks ago can atest to, I have no spare cars and no barn to work in...just a pain in the ass (literally) gravel drive
Heh, thanks for the vote of confidence Piggy! Hopefully that gravel drive is being niiiiiiiiiice and itchy for you
And I am not sure but I don't think you are supposed to use a jack and axle stands on gravel?

Hmm, that changes the order in which I do things quite a lot. Maybe as a last resort but is there much leeway in how the downpipe can be fitted? Like if it is too long or too short is there much to play with or...?
I am tempted to just throw something together that has roughly the same dimensions as the standard elbow and see if it will fit with a V band clamp to allow me to adjust the angle.
