(Update 4) Pricing Estimates:
We’re getting some of the final data from the new manufacturer about the costs of the new pipes and flanges and welding, etc. We are hopeful at this point that our old 2024 pricing (as shown on this page) will not be very far off! As soon as all of the work is finalized, we’ll update what the final costs are expected to be, and if there will be any price adjustments. Thanks for your patience!

(Update 3) Final Exhaust Update!
All of the exhaust system tubes, mufflers, clamps, hangers, tips, and instructions are just about finished! We hope that all can be ready to go the same time as the headers, which are almost complete as well. We believe our exhaust designs have the best combination of power and awesome sound available for Z-Cars anywhere. Many have been pre-sold, and we look forward to seeing (and hearing) all of them! Thank you for your patience through this long process... Exhausts are coming soon!!

(Update 2) New Manufacturer Update:
These guys do great work and know their stuff, so they get lots of orders. They are working hard to fulfill all of ours as soon as possible! We are hopeful that all the new Headers & Exhausts will start arriving in our shop very soon. Pre-orders will start shipping soon after. For the shortest wait, see "Pre-Sale!" below and get your systems reserved too!

(Update 1) Availability Update:
The great manufacturer who has been making our headers and exhausts (and this custom down pipe) for many decades has decided to hang it up after a long career. We wish them the best. Before they left, they recommended another local manufacturer they knew and trusted. We’re getting all the jigs and patterns set up and running at the new place, and will have a new flow of well-made product on the way very soon.

Pre-Sale!
Most of our customers are reserving the header or exhaust (or down pipe) they want ahead of time, to “get in line” to get theirs as soon as possible. We expect most to be already reserved before they’re delivered to us. To get yours reserved as well, just order using a credit card, and we will reserve your parts for you, and not charge you until the parts arrive here and are ready to ship out (Note: If you choose PayPal, they will charge you ahead of time, so we strongly recommend using a credit card). We hope to have great news soon! Thanks for your patience!

Includes:
  • (1) Performance Turbo Conversion Down Pipe*

Description:
We've successfully completed the re-creation of the performance down pipe for 70-78 L28T swaps, and they are now available again (and for significantly less than before)! The stock 280ZX Turbo Down Pipe can be a weak link in your performance turbo conversion. Even with a high performance exhaust system, the stock pipe restriction will limit your performance gains. These 2 1/2" diameter Aluminized Steel exhaust down pipes were designed specifically for any 70-78 Z using the stock turbo exhaust manifold and turbocharger from a 280ZX. The down pipe has the proper exhaust flange and Oxygen Sensor hookups, and extends to the correct area where you can modify it for either the stock or a custom exhaust. These specially made down pipes are exclusively available at Motorsport. Replaces previous #15-6037-8-9.

*Fitment Note:
As noted above, this tube is specifically designed to work in 70-78 model Z-Cars with the L28ET engine installed (81-83 280ZX turbo engine) with both the 280ZX factory turbo exhaust manifold and the factory 280ZX turbocharger assembly (specifically the turbine casing/housing). The outlet gasket (10-2542 in Related Items) can be used as a reference for the shape of the flange used on this conversion down pipe. It will not fit in the 280ZX model, will not fit with turbochargers that have a different flange shape, and will not fit with any other turbocharged engine swap. Please give us a call prior to ordering if you have any questions.
