Ok, I ordered a an exhaust made for the JDM Evo8. Two issues arise:

1) The exhaust was made for the JDM Bumper, which means it will come up 3-4" short.

2) The exhaust piping is 80mm and my DP/TP will be 76mm

Has anyone run into a similar issue to this? Can a shop just create a flange to extend the length of the exhaust and increase the piping from 76mm to 80mm? Has anyone done this? What was the cost, roughly?

 

Bump, does anyone have info on this?

 

I have heard of several people who have had a flange set up to extend the exhaust with good results and minimal expense. I myself have the Greddy ti and had the same problem...went the other way and just got the JDM bumper!

 

More bumps, has anyone had a custom flange made????

 

I know it's a SUPER late reply, but....

I've been toying with buying 2 flanges and getting them welded together to extend slightly out the back. Granted my exhaust I only want to extend an inch or two, but it's the same concept. What you could always do is buy a test pipe and cut it to size and reweld.

 

I used to be a mechanic at Midas...what i used to do is just "swedge" and adapter pipe to match the flanges .....as for the tailpipe issue, add 3-4" to the exhaust pipe (on the straight piece) to extend it. It may show some welds on the exhaust, but if you want performance, as opposed to a trailered show car, you will be fine. A shop might charge between $30-$50 for the job...
