Default Rotated Question

Other than v-band and 4 bolt T3 options. I am curious if one can mix and match up pipes and down pipes from different manufacturers. Am I overthinking this? I don't know if all of the up pipes are at the same angle, thus making it hard to mix a different brand down pipe.

Sorry it's late and was just curious.

Thanks,

Steve

I believe every manufacturers uppipes and downpipes are slightly different and are meant to only work with there own up and down pipe setup. Not all rotated setups place the turbo in the same exact spot, some sit lower, some sit higher, slightly different angle or tilt, ect. There may be some pretty close ones that may fit but it’s not like a stock location turbo downpipe that only have one design. I don’t have a rotated setup yet but I’m in the process and Ill be having the same issue. I went with the rotated turbo pedestal so I might have to have a custom downpipe made for that setup

There are not all at the same angle, actually most are surprisingly different from company to company.
