Hi all,

Searching for a 3" downpipe for a 16T going into my 96 855 Platinum.

Anyone know if a pipe for a P1 or P2 car would work? It looks like they all have an angled flange but I can't quite tell if it lines up at all or if the pipe is totally different. I'm having a hell of a time finding a downpipe with the right flange without spending $500+.

You need a DP for a FWD P80.

Is your 16T angled-flange?

Sometimes you can find folks selling their "extra" DP's from the OBX kits, as they come with 2.
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.

'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap - SOLD/GONE

Yea, mine is angled flange. Finding someone selling their extra OBX is exactly what I was hoping for but haven't had any luck yet so I was seeing if I had other options.
