Just so you know the garett turbo sits about a 1/2" dif as far as the flange being drilled so the pipe will go towards the ground more so that when the star dp is bolted on it will not line up with the exhaust....ask me how i know =) blew my turbonetics and while waiting under warranty i bought a garret and found the problem out the hard way

so you had to shorten the top part of the pipe? The garret turbo sits a 1/2" lower than the turbonetics one?

no it sits at the same height up say for insance the turbonetics bolt pattern is straight up and down well the garret pattern is rotated about 3 degrees counterclockwise but by the time that pipe gets down to the actuall cat/exhaust piping the downpipe is 2 inches to low and there is no flex section to make it work. Im sure with some cutting and welding it could be fit on though, may just be mine but im speaking from experience.

Ah, I see, I'm gonna have to cut the flange off anyhew, I have a flange to block off the internal wastegate hole, so I guess it would work out for me. Know where I can get a damn used star downpipe? Or is there a write up on pieces needed to make a 3" to kinda take the guesstimation work out of it? Thanks for the warning though.
