I've had this 2.5 inch SS Prelude downpipe lying around that I was gonna have modified for my Miata with a T3. Since I bought a car already turbo, I don't need this anymore.

If anyone can weld and wants to weld this up I'll ship it for $75. It's got the good SS flapper housing for the T3, a quality flex section and a V-band.

I thought it would be easy when I bought it but don't need it now. Anyone who's looking for a cheap DP solution and can weld or has a buddy who can, hit me up. Obviously the upper part can be rotated around the v-band to get the geometry close. Heck just the flapper section goes for this price.

After we got the custom blinds estimate, mine sent me to Home Depot.:gay: I purchased the same brand as the "custom" blinds were, and HD cut them to my measurements free of charge.
I was still on crutches at the time, but was able to install most of them standing on one leg. Had a buddy help with the ones I couldn't get. Came out around $1000 instead of $4000.

We got some generics (white) at HD and cut them, but she wanted special colors too in certain rooms, and since HD didn't have foo-foo colors we custom ordered them. KY not included.
My agreement with my wife. I get the garage and the basement. You get the rest of the house. Works for me.

I may want this...pretty bad. I live in severna park soooo yeah not far.
Let me take a look and see how much actual work it would take to make my T3 fit my T2 manifold and see what kind of clearance I have to work with.
I can't seem to find too many people interested in my T3 and i've been itching to see how it would fit. I guess I'll see what kind of measurements those adapter plates usually have and see how much room i might have.
for now though...possibly Dibs. Depends how willing my welding friends might be.
