Fabricating your own exhaust?

I agree. I have just looked up them V clamps and they do look good. Plus it answers the above question on how to join it to the downpipe. The only problem I foresee is getting the magnaflow box. I might have to use another type of box similar to the magnaflow but a cheaper alternative which is easy to source from the UK.

just make sure you get a muffler (back box ) you can see through and roll a tennis ball through and you're good to go.
The nice thing about V-bands is that you get rotation after everything is welded up. good for last minute adjustments.

I went into my exhaust makers today to try and get a price and it was a waste of time!
They wouldnt give me a price unless I took the car to them which I couldnt do!
So I asked for a price for them to sell me the pipes so I can get it done myself and they wanted £58 + VAT for 2M of 3" stainless. The same pipe is £38 off the internet. So I walked out in discrase!
I spoke with my friend today and asked if he would be ok to weld it for me and he said as long as I bought the gas and wire he would do it so I might start to order the pipe now. Could some one tell me how many meters of 3" straight pipe I would need to buy to go from the downpipe flange back?
I take it I need 1 U bend and 2 90 degree bends to copy off you Y8S plus the muffler and then the straight sections.

Is your turbo on the manifold yet and bolted to the car? does the 200sx downpipe clear the gearbox? The satndard cast iron one I had didn't. The stainless one I bought just needed a small amount of an unused lug on the gearbox removing.
If you down pipe doesn't fit at least you can cut the flange off it and start your build from there. I'll try and sort some pics today but it is the grand prix and the england germany match so no promises
