Help!! New DPP's MBRP Exhause and PDR HX40 turbo
I just ordered and received my new exhaust system from DPP (the Aluminized MBRP system), but I have a PDR HX40 turbo.
Needless to say the downpipe for the new exhause will not work, BUT ... I do still have the original downpipe for the HX40 that Piers sent me sitting in the basement (someone gave me an old downpipe from a PDR HX40 when we installed my HX40 some years ago).
So .... what the heck can I do now? The Piers downpipe I have is not as long as the MBRP downpipe ... will I/can I cut a piece of the new MBRP downpipe and attached it to Piers downpipe and then to the rest of the new MBRP system? Is there some type of special splicing clamp for the 4" pipes I can use (since one of the two ends of the cut piece will not be flanged).
Or did I just screw myself bigtime? I asked the guy at DPP if their system would work with the PDR HX40 turbo and he said YES, but then I open the box yesterday and the downpipe is for the regular HX35 ... DAMN!
