3inch stainless down pipe

Ml 1990 740 turbo · Jul 18th, 2015, 20:05

I'm about to make my 3 inch down pipe and will possibly jig it if there are a couple of people who would be interested in a one. I'm running a 18t, and as far as I know a 19t should be the same when it comes to the exhaust housing outlet position. I don't know about a 15g or 16t but I'm sure some one who knows more than me will inform me. I did notice that when I fitted the 18t it did change the position slightly compared to the 13c.
I would need u to send me the flange that u want welding on the downpipe.
At a guess I'd say no more than £80
If u are interested let me know

Yes I need one, mine has two lambda threaded holes. The 18T could have a straight or angled flange. My 19T is straight flanged. I would like a flexi bit in it and the bit that connects to the exhaust pre cat is quite long. I'd have to give you measurements as the minute you go off stock it gets tricky!

Mines a straight flange. What about a 16t? Would they work as well.
There's going to have to be a little Fettling by people as u say as it's not a stock thing. But I'll make it over length under the car so people can chop it down to suite and then buy a stainless 3inch sleeve joiner. U can get them on eBay for £13 including clamps as I've just bought one

If anyone has any input jump in

The straight flange hotside from 15g to 19T is exactly the same size, angled flange are a pita to fit, With it being 3" the fitment is tight so I'll measure up mine, which fits fine ( but has holes in ) which will make it easier. Clearance so,it doesn't catch the steering arm is tight, Cheers,Carl.

So You've already got a 3 inch down pipe? If so I can repair that if u want?
Cheers for the info
I noticed that the clearance will be tight but, it should be doeable though.

It's already been patched and isn't worth saving, it's the only bit of the exhaust that's not stainless too.

Ml 1990 740 turbo · Jul 18th, 2015, 22:35

I see!! Where did u get that one from?

Pete940 · Jul 18th, 2015, 22:41

Any chance you could do one without the flange? I don't know exactly what I'll be using but that would still save me a fair bit of work.

Yeh that would be no problem
