Off the wall exhaust question! Need advice.

Joepro · 01-22-2014, 11:56 AM

Hey everyone, here is the skinny, I am highly intrested in Sashas turbo kit, however I have one slight issue, I have Z1 headers installed and they run the DE flanges. We are worried that if he welds the DE flanges on vs the HR flanges it will not fit properly...I am also running DE ART pipes and FI non res exhaust. At this point my only option seems to have Sasha not weld any flanges on at all and just provide me with DE flanges and have them welded after I install the kit...unless literally the only thing different is the flange, not the angle or bolt hole locations or anything silly like that...thanks if anyone knows or has an opinion. I sold my stock headers so that really is not an option right now.

Now that I think about it....I have a spare VQ35DE long block with OEM headers sitting around. I will see how the VHR manifold sits on there. It should tell me a lot about fitment.

I know that when I installed/tested the VHR twin scroll turbo down pipe on my DE, the turbo was in the same location, so the OEM exhaust manifold outlets are in the same location.

Man... I'm 99.999% sure it's just the flange.

I wish I took more pics before I installed... Sorry... BUT you can ask or look through Megan370's pics. I believe he has pics with the stock setup and a Momentum setup next to each other.

Regadless I cannot see it being a huge deal even if it is off, I will just have to have the pipe cut and rewelded, I think its worth the time and effort for this kit...if it is just flanges im home free, that is easy.
