Re: what do, exhaust for my vx80, 4"?

This is something I'm working on at the moment, going inside the chassis next to the gearbox, 3" is tight but i'll make it work ... the factory cast elbow is terrible.

Re: 3 inch exaust systems. where to buy. 80 serries and safa

May as well chuck this question in here..

Anyone with 80s done an 'inside the chassis rail' 3" exhaust?

I started making a flange for the turbo outlet to make a straight downpipe instead of that stupid point at the wheel cast elbow thing.
