As the title suggests; I bought a custom made 2.5" straight pipe exhaust system with a flex pipe connecting to a downpipe. The PO said that the flange in the photo (downpipe) was connected to an elbow that led to the turbo.
My turbo came off a 240, and has an elbow that I won't be able to use as the flange is different. I'll have to get something custom made when the system goes on the car in a few weeks, but I could use some help identifying the downpipe flange. I'll probably end up cutting up the elbow I have and creating a Frankenstein-pipe.
If it helps, here is a photo of where the downpipe WOULD connect to the elbow if they matched
up (as well as the turbo-to-elbow, in case anyone has suggestions as to how to make the new elbow)
Begi manifold will place the turbo differently and wont allow the downpipe to line up. If you want it to bolt right up, then you will need the FM manifold and turbo elbow.

Yeah, no way I'm spending $3XX CAD for an elbow. Going to go the custom fab route, I have a friend who has lots of exhaust hacking experience so we'll figure something out. Thanks for the advice
It is a cast piece of metal. It is far above in quality what an exhaust shop will hack together. So of course it is expensive.

If he has the old style Begi log then the turbo is in exactly the same place.
