For that price you might as well get a Warpspeed y-pipe and you'll know that it's gonna fit 100%.

Its not a y-pipe its a downpipe for a turbo if you have a turbo it should work.

you prolly need the headers for proper fitment.

like others have stated, the warpspeed prolly better.

I'm not sure how this could be used in a turbo application? Where do you mount the turbo to this pipe? looks like 2 ends connect to a header and the other to the exhaust..

It's more of a y pipe than a down pipe. My guess is it is a y pipe but obx does not know the proper name for it. It looks just like all the other 110000000000000 y pipes is see

1. It's based on the shorty header design

2. The obx is a 2 piece header so u would have to cut both the header and y pipe then weld them together #fail

The link says its for an aftermarket turbo setup.

Cant tell if OBX headers are required or not. Quick ebay search for obx headers yeilded nothing for 4th gens.

this setup screams maaaaaaad work to me. WS Y-pipe so much easier.
