problems fitting a 3inchdowm pipe

[Error404]

Normal CV grease is only effective up to around 120-140c, when you put a downpipe 15mm away from the joint flowing 700c gases it'll just mean the grease melts and your CV wears out quicker, should imagine the boot will have a reduced service life too.
Can't see its a massive drama to remove it but better to keep it if possible, or get some trick high temp moly grease maybe?

I cant see an issue with it being 15mm away. Put some heat wrap around the section of downpipe thats closest to it and that should keep it spot on. Remember its only radiated heat its not getting the full 700c.

All respondents,

Thanks for the posts re the jig etc. ( That is what I missed ).

TerryB, I agree and can appreciate the hassle of running group buys or even parting out a car on the forum, it's hard, time consuming and can be frustrating.

AndyC, approximately what price range was or is Prospeed for a 3"inch s/s S2 downpipe?

Thanks.
