My flex pipe cracked on my downpipe. Sounds like -ish...any fix? Can't find anything for a manual trans...every part I find is for Auto trans only...NEED HELP!

 

what does the downpipe have to do with the transmission? I would assume a downpipe would be the same fro auto or manual. Downpipe is part of the exhaust not transmission. Bump

 

actually i believe a 5spd dp is different then a auto, if you use some of the 5spd downpipes on an auto I think they rub on something causing a huge vibration that sounds like crap.

are you looking for a stock or aftermarket dp?

 

i have one in perfect condition 2.2l manual $75 where are you in NY

contact me

 

Yes, two two is right they are diff. Not sure if it is because of rubbing but the manual trans needs more flex from starting and revving. The pipe for the auto trans is more rigid and has a weaved mesh type flex and the Manual has a more accordion flex. Apparently it wasn't enough flex, esp and WOT shifts

Either. Kinda wanted to avoid aftermarket because of codes from High-flow cats. Have anything? or even a remedy for codes and hi-flow cats?

Will a stock downpipe from a 04 Ion Redline work? Looks like it may be a little short from pics but can't really tell.

 

welded it! No shop would touch it and couldn't find a replacement quickly so i welded it myself and its holding up pretty well so far. we'll see how long it lasts...

 

just a pic for anyone who is interested in doing this...if so show interest and I will post up a little better how to

 

i have a gutted one if ur interested its off my car when i bought it so it has no miles on it really mb like 2500
