Flex Pipe? OEM?

In this application I am using a stock VR4/1g O2 housing.

I tried the crow foot tool, but it would come off when the nut began to contact the weld and the required torque to turn it increased. I will make mods later.

Quoting SouthCaliVR4:
If you hit it with a dremel & open it up the 1g will flow quite well, I may not be recalling this correctly but I think you can open up the 1g more than the 2g.



I don't think I'll be grinding on the o2 housing with a dremel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Maybe a die grinder with a carbide burr bit.

But was there enough of the o2 housing flange to get a good leak free clamp on the DP? I know a tsudo (there matt) 2.5" inlet DP on a stock 2g o2 housing didn't have enough flange to get a good clamp on the gasket, and thereby necessitated an after market tubular housing

Quoting AnotherNewb:
What o2 housing is being used? Stock 1g, 2g, tubular? Was the flange of the stock outlet, if used, large enouge to get a good seal on the inlet of the down pipe?

Here is a question thats kinda out there and off topic, just a little. I know that the 2g exhaust manifold is better than a 1g, but does the same hold true on the o2 housings? I just ask because I have a couple of 1gs, 2g, and the one off of the vr4 not sure if its different than a 1g, never looked. I ask because the o2 sensor is in a different position on the 2g housing and is kinda close to the PS pump. If it didn't matter, I would put the VR4 one back on.



My car came with a Victory Performance stainless steel tubular 2.5in o2 housing, and it's only housing I know.

How about a picture of the downpipe. Looks like you took a picture of the belts section /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

^It seems like when they fixed the site speed, they mix-match the pic's
