HKS manifold custom downpipe ?
 

Hey whats up im wondering if the guys that are running the hks manifold have any insite as to how to run the downpipe or if you guys have any pictures cause the problem im having is that the down pipe will hit the heater hoses. theres not a whole lot of room to make it work

I think you are going to have to do a reroute of your lines, I had to reroute mine to dodge the manifold and DP.

Years ago I had a thread that had pictures of my hks/downpipe build. I don't think it's available anymore. It's a straight forward design. 1 90 degree pipe, 2 45 pipes.

Here's a link with some pictures:

FYI, I don't maintain this site anymore, so some links and info will be outdated.


Also, attached are some pictures of my updated divorced downpipe.

this looks like a good opportunity to sell your old one :D

nope, it's staying with me:)

Stripes, what is the size of that pipe? I was wondering if its possible to fit a 3" in there with the HKS manifold?

Yes it's possible.

Hi
I also have plenty of problems looking for a downpipe that will fit the manifold set up.. do you know if this idea will work for a 2001 miata?? do you make these ??

cough...cough...excuse me, I have not posted in a while:)

As far as I know, there are no downpipes available for the HKS manifold.This is a straight up DIY build. I almost made a production run of my downpipe last year, but I decided there was not a market for this product.

I'm sure you can copy my setup for a 2001 miata. I've seen a couple of HKS DIY builds for 2000+ miatas. I have plenty of room for this design in my 95, just make sure to make some sort of heat shield for your heater hose and master brake cylinder.

Good luck.
