Always rare but worth a shot...
I have a Powerflow exhaust to go on my 16v but it needs the standard downpipe, cut off before the box. I reckon I might as well try and get the exhaust right, since I hope once the stainless system goes on I won't be doing much maintenance... so I'm looking for a proper 16v downpipe with the long split in it. I think Walker did a pattern part which was right, and possibly Bosal too. Most of the pattern parts only have a short split, which robs low-end power. Anyone have one they would care to let go?

Re: Wanted: 16v downpipe
Could you not get your existing one copied into stainless? Seems a shame to have stainless except for the bit that is impossible to get hold of?
If you do go down that route, i wouldn't mind a stainless front pipe if you get two made

Some StSt exhaust builders recommend the use of the standard downpipe on the grounds that it will flex more easily than a StSt version and these sometimes crack at the first bend.
Of course it could be they CBA to build one in stainless
