phonsa

Need a angled OBX downpipe, let me know if you got one please.

Try the classifieds on TB or VS or VCOA , I had one lined up shipped cheapish but he squibed on me....

phonsa

Thanks for the heads up i will have a look, i know they are hard to come by.

Ex850R

You gotta be quick and really sell yourself to them or they dont bother , ask nicely if they will ship to begin with , maybe Mike oe Matty P can help with contacts? Try Mark at VP Tuning , he imports the TME stuff , may have some old stuff? Worth a try.

I know what you mean, when i was looking at IPD sway bar kit, i had reached an agreement but was never shipped.

No money was exchanged.

I posted in the wanted section on VS and got a reply from a bloke that has 75 negative flags! No thanks.

Ex850R

Good luck , i suppose the effort to get past customs is the problem..

Probably not a bad thing. In reality you probably dont want a 25mm front bar on a 850 anyway, though the bigger rear one is good.
With an open diff and a big front bar, torque steer can be horrendous.

Doesn't the OXB kit come with 2 downpipes?

Ex850R

It does , thats why you buy the one they dont use...IF they will ship it , i think its time to make some 3" pipes....Bloody argon is too expensive , used to be free on the job...

How much is argon?

Ex850R

Too much when it was always free , we used tap lines made from the lines on the tanker delivery semi trailers , they change them out regularly for safety. Any bottles were fair game on milk factory sites if you were out.
Getting hold of your own mid size bottle was the trick , better I'd an aluminium one too. Don't know how many gas bottles I have pushed,shoved and rolled along and lifted into welder trolleys....Wonder why my back only lasted till my 40s. .

Were not that bad over here but there are some twats like everywhere, I'm sure you realise you have to put a nice dent in the dp to clear the steering rack as they are designed for lhd,

Thanks for the heads up, the exhaust shop had to heat it up and put a little dent in the downpipe to clear the steering rack for the straight downpipe.
