| ok like the title says i need me a downpipe.
mine is rubbing the transfercase so i need a new one.
it has to clear the 6spd tranny and the transfercase.
if anyone has one or looking to upgrade and give me their old one lemme know.
### if anyone uses ttp downpipe on the MR remove it now. ###
the flex section of the pipe will rub when engine is torqued and will damage the transfercase. unless you have the 5spd. | |

| Mine is currently in a delicate balance of barely touching both the TC and the oil pan ... TTP as well. | |

| I might pull mine off this weekend and "free up" a little room around the oil pan so I can adjust it away from the TC a little. I'd like to have a torch for that though ... | |

| Come to town and let Walker fix you up ... he should be able to replace it with a stainless section and make any adjustments you might need for fitment. | |

| 30 psi peak? that's just insane...I wonder why I can't go past 23 psi without my engine knocking like crazy, maybe the cams...err | |

| Good call ... Mine doesn't have any marks, but I've been running an upgraded front engine mount for a while.
Which did you end up going with? | |

| they are megans and they dont rub as of now... the car vibrates much much more due to no flex and stiffer engine mount.
i like the sound it has more of the metal ping sound to the exhaust. | |
