    Ive got a japspeed down pipe. Didnt fit very well. I have a hks silent hi power cat back. To fit the japspeed down pipe it pulled it so out of place it was touching my prop shaft and my diff.

    They dont sell a flexi 14a downpipe. I dont have a japspeed elbow. But other downpipe fit fine til it developed a slight hole

    Apex Performance, get one with a flexi, I'd love to know who makes their downpipes and decats for them.

    I know their "Sensible" exhaust system is a Blueflame, but welding is different on everything else Apex supply.

    the only thing i dont like about any off the stainless elbows due to they not having a bracket which bolts to the engine, so all the weight is held on top off the maifold so in the end i got a second hand one n got a braket welded to it

    The standard elbow doesn't have a bracket either.
