Not sure if this is the right section for this and for a noob question.... but will a 3'' test pipe bolt straight onto the hks carbon ti cbe even tho the flanges on the hks is about 2.something.

Also will it cause any problems to the flow since im going 3''' downpipe and testpipe to a an exhaust flange that is a bit smaller?

thanks!

 

anyone?

 

If you're saying the HKS tapers down to 2" something, yes, it will still bolt on to a 3" testpipe.

 

Yes, it will bolt on. I am running the same setup.

 

Yes the HKS does taper at the flange and yes it will still bolt to the 3'' test pipe with no issues. I have this setup...

 

thanks everyone! I feel more confident in what I am purchasing in a few days Can't wait to slap it on

 

Must be nice to run catless. They crack down on that around where I live.

 

hey i need help! im running an HKS downpipe and the Carbon ti exhaust system...but idk what test pipe to get. i was going for the AMS,. but the fitting is incorrect? help please?

 

to the OP it will work but you are going from 3" to 2.75" to 3",,,not recomended

If its not too much of a pain in the *** take it to a muffler shop, have them cut off the neck down and reweld a small peice of 3" and flange to keep it 3".

Some odd turbulence will happen if you dont do this and it will free up some decent HP if you do it correctly

 

and to the dude above running 280 cams and making 400whp does your still have the neckdown?!?!?

 

I've got this exhaust also and noticed when looking at it through the muffler tip, it gets very small in there. Anyone else notice this? It doesn't look like it flows very well.

 

dont go ams they use a three bolt flange. you will have to cut the flange off and have somebody weld a two bolt on for you. I did it to a buddies i welded a 3 bolt on a perrin for an ams downpipe. I had a perrin test pipe was very good but kinda heavy. now i have an aluminum exhaust that bolts up to the downpipe and weighs the same as the perrin test pipe

 

yoo!!! thanks...haha i just went invidia 2 weeks ago....sounds nice! not so much power difference...but its loud enough to say "**** emmisions" lol

 

It doesn't work with every test pipe. I was running the megan test pipe and it was causing a leak, didn't mate well with my carbon-ti. I'm using a RRE test pipe now and it works fine. Like someone said above make sure you get one with a 2 bolt flange.

 

Yeah i never cared about emissions. I have aem and no cats or nothing also i cut my 02 sensor out all i have is a wideband thats broke right now haha Test pipes ftw though glad you like it
