the corksport downpipe fits real close to the crossmember, and you must grind a decent amount off the oilpan to make it fit...
yes the performance gains from it are worth the headache and time it will take to remove oil pan and mod it....hope theese pics help... stare long enough and you will understand...

Post by: JD on September 01, 2009, 05:36:00 PM: Thanks man! If I'm seeing the proper corksport here, it looks like I'll have to give up AC? Did I find the right one? Not sure I'm ready to do that...

thoughts of mine...

Post by: JD on September 02, 2009, 11:39:00 AM: Wow...but I actually think I'm going to start with just a base camaro and piece it all together. Heck, it might not ever reach a full z28, but I'll be happy as long as I keep moving in that direction.

Post by: rcicustoms on September 02, 2009, 05:02:00 PM: well, rocket, i dont have the cs dp per say.. but what i do have, you may be interested in, and will be alot cheaper... i reflanged the cs downpipe to fit a mitsu flange when i went to that turbo ,...BUT... i still have the flange....
its made for a vj-14 hotside and has a built in divider to separate main and WG dump tubes.. its cutoff about a cm from the weld on both pipes
and could be welded up in no time to make a cs downpipe... and with only having the pipe to buy your gonna save alot of $$$....besides you can fab it up so you dont have to modify the oil pan .... if you want it, id be willing to talk trade no cash involved ... except to ship...gimme a few days and ill post some pics of it on here for ya...
