Local custom exhaust - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Gen · 11-17-2013, 10:10 PM

Anyone have a recommendation on someone local that can fabricate a small piece of the exhaust for me? (San Diego) I had to tilt my radiator back in order for everything to fit on my turbo setup. The downpipe is ever so slightly touching the fan, and it won't last forever like this. I need someone that can fabricate something straighter. It would also be nice to use some larger fans, as the slim fans don't really do the trick in the hotter months.

What turbo kit are you running

Hit the guys up at Performance Tube Bending, solid work from them.

FBM. The pipe has this wonky curve, presumably to give the MAF ample room. Once you start adding things up front, it becomes problematic. It all fits fine with the stock radiator, but that's not really up to the task of a turbo charged car. There's also a 25 row Setrab oil cooler up there, so it's all a tight fit.

I think fullbown should address the issue and it might be an install thing

Definitely not an install issue. Koyo Radiator had to be titled in order to allow everything to fit up front. In the stock configuration it clears. With the stock radiator, or even just the koyo radiator, it works.

The bad about tilting your radiator back is it changes the air flow design. You might be better off changing to a one piece unit for cooling both oil and water. Now sure if you have thought about that. You can also move the oil cooler and make a ducting for air flow

Yes, I actually have the APR ducts for just that reason, but the shop I go to was insistent airflow would not be good enough. The radiator was more shifted back more than titled, but there was some tilt to it. If can get a straighter down pipe, I expect to be able to tilt it back to a more stock configuration.
