Default Downpipe advice please.

I'm doing a 1.5jz with a single turbo (GT3040) and I need a new downpipe. The existing exhaust is a 3" Tanabe system with the stock downpipe. I expect that any downpipe that I use will need some modification but what's a good starting point? JZA-80? This one looks like a suitable candidate (http://www.tokyo-express.co.uk/tanab...t/downpipe.htm). With the Supra block I believe that the 1jz manifold will sit slightly higher than before so I don't think that a downpipe for a 1jz will fit.

I'll also need the bung for the AEM Wideband sensor.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, but needed it quickly.

HKS 3" downpipe from http://www.tokyo-express.co.uk. £149 and in stock. Sold.

Envy had a Titanium one for £400 but that's too rich for me.

The reason he mentioned "custom" as a wise choice is because everything in your engine bay will be custom............ you can go to the local exhaust shop and get one made just as fast as you can get one shipped.
