I tried fitting my 3" down pipe on the t36 spent a gd few hours building a lobster back 110 degree bend and it didnt bloody fit lol i cant belive how tight it is behind that turo even standard. That big bracket/mount on the drivers side couldnt be in a worse place. Ive got to try and adapt the standard flange to take the 3" flange. Nightmare!

I had that problem with mine, ended up cutting the heat shield around the steering linkage, and remaking it to get some more room. Heres a picture of the start of my downpipe, I'll have to get a pic of the finished item. Image

Never had an issue with mine either, Paul your downpipe is going to look impressive when complete.
