I have been looking around for a place that does 4" Vband assemblies and found this site , I dont know if they ship over here (UK) or how much it would cost for shipping on some of these goodies, if weight is a consideration?

But they have everything you would want to build the Dogs nuts of an exhaust system.

Mmmm, our U.S. brothers have some lovely stuff available to them close to home

Nice - I have found it very hard to find metal SS or ali tubing in this country. Most places try and screw you and charge silly money.

WTF - 4" Vband = 4" Downpipe?

[audiman]

Cool, if only the UK had this sort of place

Oval 4" pipe!!!! Rock on baby

HI mark. If you can find a trailer truck shop in your country you can probably find them there alot cheaper than burns. Ford diesel trucks came with them. Ford dealerships sell the clamps but not the flanges.

www.atpturbo.com sell v-band flanges however I am not sure if they sell 4 inch.

Your best bet.. is the the tractor trailer truck shops. If I am in the area of the shop that I go to i probably could get you a price on one of them.

Cheers

Thanks Josh,

I never thought of that, and thinking about it now, I have a place near me in mind too.

Yep had a look at ATP (always looking there ) and I couldn't see any 4" Vbands, although they do 4" inch pipe.

Cheers,

Mark.

I was surprised to find soo much useful parts at this place that I go too. Nothing quite like dealing with oversized stuff.

Come on then Mark - how are you getting a 4 inch downpipe to fit? And are you having a 4" going to the back or side exit?

Who is doing your DP? I need a new DP and side exit when I get a different EM and turbo.

I wasn't sure that it would fit until someone posted yesterday somewhere in another thread that he had one fitted to an RS2, its got to be tight though.

If I do it 4" all the way it will be with a side exit to save the aggro of going over the rear driveshaft.

If I do end up doing this, I will try to do it myself this time.

You are right Ant.........at least I know I must be, and my neighbours would definately agree.

I have just spent all day in and out of the p!ssing rain making a new crossmember for that big IC I got off of ebay, and even managed to set fire to one of my trainers/sock (flying lump of spatter) whilst welding the thing up, two of my toes are killing me!

I am beggining to think that there are better and less hazardous things that I could be doing with my spare time and money.

Anyway rant over.......and yes Doug I will try to keep it on the road for the majority of this year.

Mark.
