The MAX Flex Cobra exhaust system combines a turbo dump elbow, downpipe, and flex section into one easy to install system that produces benefits greater than the sum of its parts.

Innovative Features:

>Half inch thick inlet flange that is straight cut between bolt holes. This is 3x as much steel as our compeditors flange which prevents any warping from welding or heat cycling of the turbo.

>Half inch thick outlet flange eliminates leaks and failed gaskets under the car.

>Superior ground clearance without having to hammer factory metal. OEM heat shield must be removed. Down pipe runs paralell to the frame rail.

>Solid steel 3 leg trans. mount features slotted holes. Its so strong and has so much adjustability that if you mount it in its highest position it will raise the entire exhaust system so much that the cat back pipe will hit the subframe and diff.

>Dual 2 inch mandrel bent tubes used in the elbow, 3" flex section. 3" downpipe with only 1 bend for maxumim flow.

>Independant merged tubes in dump elbow keep turbine flow seperated from the waste gate all the way down to the flex section. Our compeditors have one big collector or if they do seperate its piped back into the elbow at a not so smooth angle.

>Turbune tube extends past the flange into the turbo completely seperating both sides of the turbo to prevent turbulence and maximixe hoesepower and torque. Other companies have either a bolt on extension that does not seal properly or a flap that does not seperate flow more for more than an inch.

>Vertically oriented flex section eliminates the usual flange and gasket who's bolts are difficult to get to. It also reduces the amount of unflexable weight that hangs on the exhaust manifold. Vertical flex isolates any ground contact in the exhaust system from the turbo and manifold eliminating loose bolts, failed gaskets, and cracked manifolds. Other flex down pipes have the flex section on the bottom of the car towards the cat causing any contact with speed bumps to be transmitted directly to the turbo and manifold. Those horizontal flex section's drag on the ground because the flex is a larger diameter than the pipe which completely misses the whole point of having a flex section in the first place.

>Compatible with all bottom mounted turbos such as T25, T28, S15 turbo, GT2871R, GT25R etc. Inlet flange has one slotted hole to accomodate the different 5 bolt patterns and OEM gaskets in T25 & T28 OEM turbos. For turbos with a built in divider plate it is necessary to grind off the turbine tube extension.

>Compatible with Right and left hand drive S13,14, 15 chassis. Plenty of clearance for the steering shaft firewall and tranny.

>Compatible with above turbos and chassis equipped with SR20 or KA24 Turbo Conversion motors.

*made to order please allow about 1 week for fabrication
*if you have the tomei expreme manifold, that will push the turbo back towards the firewall and cause this pipe to hit the transmission
*all manifolds that maintain the stock position are not a problem

Price and availability to be announced.

I have 5 units $380 each.

.5" thick flanges with extra material around the perimeter stay flat preventing exhaust leaks

adjustable tranny mount allows more ground clearance for the entire exhaust system

o2 bung

flange and dual dump tubes separate turbulence from wastegate from inside the turbo down through the flex section

3 layer vertical flex is the only way to have true exhaust system safety and reliability

slotted hole pattern for t25&t28

smooth segmented bend

Thanks elgene!

we have actually done alot of these custom before releasing this part because the vertical flex is absolutely essential to the exhaust system reliability.

Parts in stock now - moved thread from wish list to products forum
