Downpipe setup for FP's new SS housing. What are you using?
 
I have an FP black sitting at home waiting to be put in at Spring time and im having trouble deciding on which downpipe to run. This is for anyone running FP's new SS turbine housing, which downpipe are you using? Fathouse Fab ? STM ? MAP ?

The other issue I have is I have an AMS exhaust on the car currently, and they are the only ones who use a 3-bolt flange. Anyone here from the above companies that could let me know if its possible to have a downpipe built with the AMS flange?

STM gets my vote. And unless AMS made proprietary 3 bolt flange, I would think any 3 bolt flange would work. Or take the car to an exhaust shop and have them change the flange once you get the car together..

I got a zephyr over the holidays, just sucks that you have to spend 800 on a downpipe.
Fathouse doesn't make them anymore, I called them.
Map
Stm
Sheepey
Are the only ones right now !!!

I was leaning toward the STM honestly, but IIRC they only make it with a 2 bolt flange for the test pipe connection. And I believe the AMS exhaust is the only one for the evos that use a 3 bolt.

Me, you, and a few more people do a group buy, price goes down, every one is happy.
My first choice, would be fathouse, map, then stm

Im down, if you are, just gotta find more people in the same boat, no flakes allowed.
I'll run the stm..
But I want it re circulated

Yes, they use a 3 bolt flange, but you can buy a 3 bolt flange anywhere. My point was if they made their own with a silly bolt pattern. Which I highly doubt they did...

gotcha. I would just prefer to get the downpipe already built with said 3 bolt flange so I can do all the work myself in the driveway. I have no fabrication/welding capabilities.

I also want recirc'ed.

I too got the the FP RED and trying to figure it all out. I bought it not knowing about the SS housing which kind of made me mad because I had no idea about the custom things I'd have to run, but hopefully it'll all be worth it at the end. thank you OP for this post
I did find a few links for those who are curious.

Fp has the o2 housing kit on their website, u get to keep your original downpipe, all u need to do is cut and weld a flange. Kit is about $270

thewickerman Jan 23, 2015 09:12 AM

Yea, I was trying to avoid the cut and weld part :/ it looks like I'll be biting the bullet on it though

LetsGetThisDone Jan 23, 2015 09:14 AM

Just have to tow the car to an exhaust shop. Not a huge deal.

will this allow for recirc? kinda looks like it will be dumping.

i believe the o2 setup from FP will force an atmosphere dump, unless you fabricate a connection into the downpipe. Judging from the pics at least
